Well, seems like time has flown by again without much progress on the car.
Started back on it again now and determined to get it done this time.
The body shell has now been taken off while we tinker with some final parts before fitting the shell permanently.
We were not happy with the handbrake mechanism, so have made some modifications to that.
We also decided to get the engine running and ensure there are no leaks and it runs ok before fitting the shell. This was a wise decision as there were some minor oil leaks from the rocker covers not sealing properly and also number 3 cyclised was running much hotter than the rest - the exhaust header turned a nice cherry colour! We ended up checking the valve lash and 3 was extremely loose, so after adjustment we are hoping that fixes it.
All the radiator connections are in and no leaks in that, so happy there.
Will hopefully be doing some more regular updates now.
