got a little more done today, have also orderd a few engine service parts to see if i can get it running.


started by taking out the rest of the interior and checked the footwells for rust which there was none.














sump is very low  :laugh:



the huge carb  :grin:





also note in this ^^ pic the strut is pointing towards the engine and theres a bolt missing/snapped. (this your handy work joe? :grin: :lipsrsealed:)



im thinking of upgrading the carb at some point in its life, anyone reccomend one that will suit and doesnt cost a fortune? as i no nothing about carbs

Not a bolt missing, it snapped off (they're attatched to the top mount). I have a spare one here but never got round to fitting it :embarassed:
