[B]
Just thought I'd let you all know that I have now finished the car . It is over 10 years since this car last drove on the road. It has now passed its MOT and I have managed to get it road legal. Although already I am spotting some small jobs that need doing. I suspect that one is never finished with a classic car.

Thanks to all those that have offered advice and assistance over the time, responding to my posts really quickly and accurately identifying where I have gone wrong - I have found it very useful. I attach some before and after shots for your info.

Hi thesaint6034

Yes I would welcome a chance to meet up chat about the cars and events etc.
Not sure how to Private Message you with contact details - - do you know?

Also I am considering getting the engine professionally tuned. Do you know anyone in the area that has good experience with these engines/ carbs etc?

Andy
