    Dude! Time to move. Funk paying to park out side your own frigging house.

    Right, bit of an update.

    This had been practically abandoned last summer as I got Nick's old car and had to mot, tax, insurance a forth motor completely unexpectedly. After stripping and repainting\polishing the inlet bits it developed a huge missfire after a few minutes and only ran with a perm live to the pump. Even that got progressively worse and I struggled to keep it running long enough to drive 6 miles to the MOT centre and back.I got an MOT taxed it and that was all. When I tried to take it out last weekend I Broke down before even pulling out of my road.

    Last week I decided that enough was enough and I got under it, determined to find the fault or call Merris for tool advice.

    The huge problem that has almost caused me to break or sell it was a £5 bit of hose from the tank to the pump, because the hoses has a fibre wrap over it I failed to notice a slight split but when I dropped the pump mount and tried to run it, it pumped pure air to the fuel rail.

    Got the hose replaced and she runs like a beauty. I'm over the moon to say the least. During the head scratching over the fuel problem I managed to tread on the grill and snapped it and the NSF wing has bubbled badly.

    Today I washed her and put some of the red stripe back on and we bonded again.

    Only pics of her clean but bumping this thread indicates my intention to push on to bring her back up to her best.

    That is all for now but not for long

    ^thanks mate

    Went out this morning to get some more pinstripe, none anywhere.

    Came back and lowered the back after fitting the unpainted skirts, You can also see how bad the front wing it, tap tap, rust.
