Thank you to everyone for this amazing support - Luddie, your description of the 70's brought back vivid and long repressed memories of delivering newspapers in the South Wales valleys at 7am on a winter's morning - I'm still feeling chilly !!
I should probably mention, I'm trying to get the car started as a first priority so I can get it registered with the DMV . I need to drive move it onto the back of a trailer so I can drive it to the nearest CHP office to get it's chassis number recorded so I can then go to the DMV ... - if I don't do this soon I'll face penalties and fines - the nearest CHP location is a little too far away for me to consider hiring a towing company - at least for now, if I can help it. DMV wouldn't let me register it as the VIN number has fallen out of their database and I need to have it re-verified in person.
Once it's registered and in the system and all the paperwork is in order I can relax a little and try and source as many of the original parts as possible or at least look at modern day equivalents and really start my Morgan apprenticeship
