So little update

Exhaust manifold gaskets arrived so they can go on

Rims painted today and tyres fitted tomorrow

Spanish fuel tank from the 410 has been dropped off for pressure
Test and a flush with a little refurbish.

Exhaust coming off later and a patch to weld on one of the boxes.

New choke cable arrived

Sand blasted and painted the metal rad pipe from the breaker sami as the old one was dead

Repairs to the wiring loom mostly done now. Not a crimp in site.
Every additional wire that had been put into the car was twisted together.
Random wires all over the show. All gone and sorted now. Re wrapped the loom
And new crimps on the earth cables.
