well then shes more or less finished now, most of the bay is back together and she actualy ran for the first time in 6 weeks, there are a few bits im not happy with like the wirring around gearbox area and need to get gearbox cleaned and painted, also the fan cowling needs painting. Im not convinced I have the breather and vac hosing plumbed in right and have a green wire from the where the coil pack and dizzy wirring come through the bulkhead with no home, also the big black wire that comes from bulkhead are I presume is a earth as car wouldnt start until I earthed it lol.

anyway heres pics as I have said before not show standard but a improvement.

pics before I started.



pics from today.








opinions good and bad welcomed

Where you get those water pipes from? I need a custom one, got an 8v mk2 top hose atm, but thats cracking allready due to a poor fit, so those hoses would work a treat.
