A lot of effort has been put in over the last few weeks, with lots of help from friends, especially Stephen. The result is that the car passed the MoT yesterday and is now road legal. Stephen painted the orange stripe on the front valance to celebrate this milestone.
Still lots to do though; I've remade the expansion tank as the cooling system is struggling to purge the trapped air. The rear springs need to be softer, and the front bump stops need cutting down. The Holley 390 needs setting up, it's far too rich when the accelerator pump discharges on throttle opening - so much so that it floods and dies. Anyway, I've got an air/fuel meter to plumb in so that should give me a good idea what's happening.
Overall, I'm pleased to have got this far.
