    Happy it’s nearing a date I can actually attempt to drive it. Still to start her up yet!

    So getting further on with this but also having small step backs as we go.
    The front bumper is on do just needs bolting to the wings, then it’s just the grill to clip on.
    In terms of engine it spins over nicely now BUT takes an age to start, only goes with a foot on the throttle and dies when the foot is lifted. Also carb flooding is an issue even when the idle screw is all but shut. Had issues with the floats so may remove the carb to see if there’s any issues.
    Then il use the timing light to make sure it’s sparking at the right point.
    one side repeater not working but hopefully an easy fix.

    So for the first time in over 2 and a half years it has finally seem outside the garage!!
    Don’t look that bad after all.



    Having issues with engaging with reverse (basically forcing it there hand holding in place) so needs more adjustment on the linkage.

    I’ve got some spax springs that Will kindly supplied with the car. They in the last few months got covered in some paint stripper so need to be re painted!!

    So almost 3 years in the making and I took it for its 1st mini run down my back road. Felt good as it’s been over 3 years since I’ve drove one. Takes some getting used to the brakes when you drive modern cars!!
    Just a slight issue with 1st and reverse but will hopefully get it sorted for it’s MOT next week.
