Not bad, ACAB started first time! Took a while to get some petrol to the carb but she's very happy indeed
Unfortunately the O/S Headlight had a chip in it which has been filling it with water... went to the local parts shop and it turned out they had 3 of the buggers in the basement, straight swap out of that and the lights are now happy!
Also had to change the temperature switch for the fan as that was dead too... (as shown by the fact that she boiled over on the first heat up.)
Anyways, will give her a clean once this storm has passed over and get some pics up!

and ACAB
Two small dints, one in passenger front door...
And one in the O/S C Pillar
Then, I have to admit to having caught her on a brick whilst manouvering around on the drive, damage isn't as bad as this picture makes it look.
Hidden away...

No mate, just had troubpe finding good places for her to stay, don't worry though, will be getting her all fixed up. I'm as unhappy with the damage as you are... Thankfully none of it is kajor in any sense of the word and can all be resolved. |

There's a front lower panel on eBay and I have a wing I can sell you...
Paint still looks good though _________________ "A fine example of how not to build a car..."

May well take you up on that mate, front panel is fine but wing would be very useful! |
