So not posted for a while as been super busy at work.
Front brakes making a smell of burning on my last drive out and today I got the callipers off and they look ceased plus the pads melted or look to be that way… posted on Facebook to get some advise if u should repair or change them. Very messy job this one but love it!

This morning i thiought i would get the old girl out for a quick drive about the town, she started 2nd time in the key after sitting for 5 months! Really happy with this, good engine and electrical system.
As i pulled out on to my drive i could smell petrol so popped the bonnet to find gas leaking from the over flow pipe on the1st Carbaretta !
Back in for a carb stip down as ive seen on the forum that debris can clog in of the fuel cut off jets. After taking off both carbs i found the fuel inlet jet with a slight amount of gunk in it.. Also noting the rubber seals where perished i ordered some replacements. Off the road now till they turn up on the 14th match

as part of the carburettor clean out, I’m also purchasing a heat shield as the one on the car seems to have deteriorated in the centre when the manifold comes down.. found an awesome seller on eBay who does a stainless steel heat shield that fits with some notifications he’s made to allow more airflow behind it, where the manifold sits looking forward to it turning up, and I’ll post pictures when fitted @ebay seller buyright777 A++
