Title: Today I.....
Post by: dajwid on May 13, 2006, 08:20:28 PM
Busy day today. At last I had time to play with my new toy.

Jet washed the whole car and no rust holes appeared, good start.

Removed all the cooling covers and resprayed them. fitted new carb, filters, plugs , leads, fuel pump and pipes. Started her up and ..........

Oh poo! Sounds rough, very rough, sounds like a tractor with no oil in it. Oops. Will have a look tommorow.

Still waiting for the disc brakes to come. Also found a cheap set of Crome bumpers. Brand new door panels, dash and clock with glass not plastic.
Still not sure if to fit my lowered suspension and alloys. (William I know what you think).

Had a quote for a full respray Friday, about 110 pounds :shock:

Oh well a good days work. A very important note do not grab the exhaust pipe when it is hot. It hurts like hell :evil:
