Passenger side harness set now installed

Perhaps,yet, I still advise anyone interested in this car to lay their eyes on it in person. Better safe than sorry.

Red flag here as FFR does not offer a Ford GT kit, 427SC, 289 FIA, Daytona Coupe, yes, Ford GT, T65 or any other name, sorry, no. This is a T65 Ford https://www.tractordata.com/lawn-tractors/000/6/3/633-ford-gt-65.html This type of "mixed conversation" is what caused my friend and I (as his adviser) to gently step away from the car and it's purported seller/owners. Yes, really

Thanks, I had reached out last November and my interaction was not as smooth as yours. My friend in the northeast ended up with an older Series 1 bought out of the local newspaper no less. Bill

Caution should be a concern with this one, as it has been for sale for well over 11 months. At such a great price, it would be a surprise as to why it has not sold far sooner. Face to face on this one is the only way to go. Bill

I dislike when I get involved in political style debates, as my mind wanders and the posts above get made. While I may not agree with what others are saying or posting, I never draw a line is civil discussion. With that said I prefer what it takes to make $1.00 widgets (abbreviated list below) Bank loans Design and engineering Purchase of property in which to build the assembly plant to make them Kickbacks and graft to grease the wheels so we can get approval for the building Kickbacks to certain organizations so that we can have the labor and suppliers to clear, prep, and build out so we have someplace to build the widgets Utilities The design and purchase of specialty equipment to build the widgets Hiring and training the workforce to build the widgets Insurance to cover the workforce who will be building the widgets Insurance to cover the building/equipment/property in case something bad should befall the widget manufacturing plant or employees Sales force to sell the widgets so we can pay back the enormous initial investment to open the doors in the first place Taxes, let's not forget the taxes being paid out, property, sales, infrastructure, employment, all before you have turned the lights on to make your widgets Or You could give up your rights to make the widgets and license it to an offshore company to make the widgets for you, but get caught paying import tariffs. As someone who has developed/owned commercial property, I can tell you in the short term the last line above this one sounds awful tempting, but in reality, the longer description above is the smarter choice. The trick of course is to convince others that in the long game, having a pay off date, and then owning the property (IE: added value) outright is the smarter play. Bill PS: My posts above are both pre and post libation enhanced, only I know which is which PSS: Screw civil discourse, I'm taking my Caterham out as soon as the tree guys finish cutting the tree down this AM

In retrospect I was harsh with my response,and I humbly apologize for it, truly I do. I guess for me, after spending days going through as much as my aging mind could handle with all of the countless lawsuits brought by people not driven 100% by the business aspect, but partially due to politics, or politicians feeding their frenzy. We can't get away from it, I wish we all could, but we as a country are in such a divided way, and we need to take a step back from the cliff we are all headed towards. Why are we being driven there, and who will gain the most by dividing us all the way to a non physical civil war. I used to use the term united we stand, divide we fail. Forget the two major political parties for a moment, or the ideological stances within the multitude of factions of them, then ask yourself who wants us to fail the most, and why? Wish I had a qualified answer that would cover it all, but I don't, and I'm not one to deal in conspiracy theory, but it's just not right what is going on in our country, or even with our allies across the ocean. We are all being torn apart, threatened if you like, from the inside out. I wish everyone well, and again, ask for forgiveness from my harsh attitude above. Bill

Democrat, Republican, left, right, center, it does not matter, and for those that think it does, you've been drinking too much of your particular parties koolaid, believing what is being reported, instead of actually going out and reading what is on paper on the subject Short term the tariffs are going to hurt, no ifs and/or buts about it. If allowed after the lawsuits (after reading over 1,000 pages of them, some are shaky at best), they will help the country in the long run. Will there be a new normal, yes, but nothing like what could happen on the flip side if we go back to the way it was. Will prices go up, sure, but not as severely as they had over the past 3-4 years. Sure, short term things will be fine, but 3-8 years from now, not only will inflation rear it's ugly head in a big way, but the term people will be using will not be recession but depression. Think otherwise, read the actual lawsuit paperwork, the arguments being submitted back and forth, and unless you only have half a brain, you'll figure it out for yourself.

I ended up buying the AC Delco AFS-73 (GM # 25312178) which has the female version (picture on right) and I swapped out for the male plug from an old oxygen sensor I found in the boot (no part number). Eventually, I'll find the correct adapter from GM and switch the ends around on the main harness so I can use the AFS-73 as it comes out of the package from GM. I've yet to stop at the local GM dealer parts counter to see if they have a harness repair kit or not for the other side of the stock oxygen sensor. Bill

Do you have a male or female end on your O2 sensor? (left or right side of attached picture)

Congratulations, enjoy the ride Bill

On my way to a much needed haircut earlier today When I arrived, my stylist told me I looked just like Don King, don't know who he is, google him

There you go, in that case Rocky Mountain Caterham would be your next call to see what the costs of the dropped floor would be. Good luck on your hunt, sometimes that is half the fun. Bill

Was the car you drove a standard chassis or SV chassis? I ask as there is a difference between the two chassis: The SV is 4" wider and 4" longer in the cockpit vs a S3 standard chassis. You can google the same to confirm. Bill

Edit, just called a good friend who is an EMT in NJ, as of the fall of 2025, all EMT's are considered a Priority Group and eligible for the current Covid Booster vaccine. It does not matter who your insurance carrier is, and 5 weeks is unheard of for medical professionals to receive the latest booster. You need to bounce this up a food chain or two, starting with whomever you are working for as an EMT. If not a satisfactory response, contact your regional health/medical director. If it's happening to you, it may be happening with others, and that iceberg needs addressing Bill

It does not, but they can always be retrofitted in as they are only pop riveted and glued/sealed in place. I ordered a set for my 40th Anniversary standard chassis after the fact. Not difficult at all How tall are you, and what is your inseam. It will be the inseam that makes all the difference. I am a 35" inseam and I still have the seat adjusted forward on the slider without touching the pedal adjustments as new from Caterham. Bill

Sad, but I guess at least you can always call you GP as a solution.

Find another CVS, or perhaps a Walgreens, as the person you spoke with is not trained properly.

I was alluding to the convertible tops, something I rarely, if ever, use on any of my convertibles

What are those funny things attached to the windshield on 3 of the cars at LOG

Forgot to include the Caterham VIN: SDKRDK5R830050203

For Sale: 2003 Caterham Super Seven SV, a true world traveler with 24,800 well loved miles. Built in UK by it's original owner (with great assistance from The Seven Workshop) with a 1.8 K-Series Engine, and used to toured Australia on his honeymoon. Soon after the end of the honeymoon, in 2004, the original owner accepted a job in the US, not wanting to give up the car, the original owner pulled the original 1.8L K series engine and had the rolling chassis shipped to his new home in Huntsville, Alabama. January of 2005, a 2.0L Zetec “202 bhp” specification engine purchased from Caterham USA (receipts in hand), along with a Pectel ECU and TWM 4x50mm throttle body/intake assembly. Included with the purchase was a Zetec race exhaust system, now installed on the car. At that time, he and his blushing bride toured the US from west to east coasts and back to Alabama where the car was then used sparingly before being sold to it's next owner in Kentucky (circa 2016 with just 21,xxx original miles) The car is graciously equipped with a 5 Speed, DeDion rear W/LSD, Heater, heated screen, Tonneau, Top with side curtains, Sun Top (regular top with no window material), touring box (not currently installed, bolts to rear of chassis), Car was painted blue with white front wings, red/white grille "7" by the factory, who also installed the original electrical cutoff switch. I've spent the last several months, as documented here on the forum, going through the car top to bottom, New tires, drive belt, injectors, all new braided fuel lines, vacuum items, filters, plugs, wires, coil pack, installed Holley Retrobrite LED headlights, new shoulder harness for drivers side (passenger side new in box, SWMBO did not like them), and a host of other minor bits and pieces. I have a large file documenting the car from original order through today, and just about everything in between. Asking $32,000, pre-purchase inspection gladly welcome as I have nothing to hide with my car. Car is located in Greenville, SC

Honestly, if you just had the death penalty for multiple parking violations you would save our planet a whole lot of trouble. Having everyone retake their drivers license test, both written and behind the wheel, I've got some great ideas for that one.
