    If you haven't already get the proper brakeline tools - straightener and bender.

    Been using the bending tool for these. Both fronts are now made up without any issues so far.

    PTFE tape is imo a godsend guarding against leaks

    Saw this come up on Facebook a few days ago and was 25mins down the road so took the trip out this morning. Got it for £30 which compared to most coming up for sale recently was a steal.



    I already have the top middle vents, shroud and light switch section. Just looking for the speaker covers and the side vent inserts to complete it, but in no rush.

    So over the last month I've got a fair few jobs done on this.
    All the dash loom has been repaired and all the former butchering has been corrected to standard (some joints held by sellotape).
    Managed to get the dash carcass bolted up today so will need to test everything works next.
    Also drilled out the doors for the wiring of the central locking and leccy windows.
    Realised there was 2 wires missing from the engine bay (oil pressure sender and water temp), found these cut and taped up so got some new bits soldered in.
    I've cleaned up the 1.3 inlet and fitted the conversion plate for the Weber 32/34 so just need the service kit to clean up the carb.

    So loosely fitted all the dash switches minus clocks ready to test everything works, this will be soon I hope now.
    Also fitted the wiper blades and nut covers I picked up awhile back. Another thing done.

    Just in the process of cleaning the cam carrier now the cam has been removed and re attaching the hoses to the fuel tank ready to refit once the rear section of floor is complete.
    Once I can get hold of some decent carpet I can get the front seats bolted back in.

    Fitted the new SR throttle cable and discovered a hidden grommet for the choke cable to pass through so saved me drilling another hole.
    Managed to order around 3 metres of the original plastic fuel line (return) which cost £6 delivered so will see what that is like when it arrives and will use copper for the feed. Also sourced a new replacement heater cable for the dash as mine was well used and a clip had snapped.
    Started sorting all engine hoses and working out what's left to buy, whilst there I cut the top rad to header silicone one to size.

    So thanks to torquey I managed to fit these kick panels, both in good condition as well.
    Also wired in and fitted my SR sun visors.
    Due to limited working space I had bolted in the passenger seat, also some motivation to keep going!!
