Lisa hasn't seen mine running either. Mind you neither have I, it hasn't had an engine in it since I bought it nearly 3 years ago

Oh don't worry I'll scare myself...I predict "I'm never getting in that car again!" type comment

Got some time last night; decided to cut the fuel line down further to get some nice straight bits for the -AN conversion. This ment removing the wiper motor...which in turn ment removing the scuttle panel and wipers, so ended io destroying all my new scuttle panel clips


Loads of room!



Far easier removing the protection from the fuel lines and installing the connectors with the straight run.


Capped off for now...as I have a new job;


...clean this minger up. @silverscoobysport Si any tips?

Adding an @ before someone's username doesn't tag them, you muppet!

Banny's missus calls him Beefcake or something, I reckon.

You really are a clutz, aren't you!

FFS, tagging fail. And fucking autocorrect bullshit.

This is why I don't bother with SN on my phone.

That and I didn't know about the tagging bollox.

Managed to squeeze in a couple of hours late Sunday after a weekend of working on the house again...

So got the wiper motor back in -twice as I fitted it upside down to begin with, it's been a long weekend


I degreased and cleaned the corner up as the switl pot obscures the chassis leg, so last chance. All holes now grommeted, except three small holes where I'll have to use a tiny dab of silicone. Not sure how much time I'll have after work this week as it's count down to conservatory install, but if I do it'll be getting the fuel filter and 044 fitted on the turret.
