          Fuel pipes fitted, just have to fit the metal double fuel pipe clips.

                Hello, A small update of progress this week I had 4 long days working on the car this week. Got off to a bad start, as I had to strip the engine block back to bare metal "again" see photos. I got the original carpet professionally cleaned and collected it this week and fitted it and also fitted the NOS centre console. I got the engine and gearbox fitted also fitted the alternator starter NOS water pump and NOS fuel pump. Fitter the front struts rear shocks and back axle. Some photos of the progress. Paul

                        Hello, A small up date. Trial fitted the NOS Ford exhaust system and hope to get the complete system painted the original blue/grey colour the same as the cross over pipe this week. Then try and finish off the front suspension later in the week.
                        Some photos of the single piece exhaust trial fit.

                            One of these came with my car (in the boot)

                            Those top corners looked moody to me ie. badly fitted adaptation ...........so I threw it in the skip ! Whoops!
