It's All About the Base, No Trouble ;)

Yes the change in fuel is a worry, hopefully all components that are affected by ethanol will be re made in suitable materials in the near future. The fact is there will be a market for parts so someone will develop them. We’ll also adapt to either buying ethanol free fuel ( at great expense) for when the car is to be laid up, or draining the whole system down.

I find this thread very refreshing it is what I would call an old fashioned restoration if you do not mind me saying, the base car requires a lot of work and you seem very willing and competent at fabrication, something that can be lost in this day and age keep up the good work won't be long now and you will have a car to be proud of, Richard

Thanks Richard, I definitely don’t mind the “old fashioned” tag

Potentially it's all the components situated in the fuel system. If we can find treatments to prevent them from damage then that would be good.
