Next item is removal of carb and inlet manifold. Nightmare to understand all the hoses and what goes where??
Am replacing with a SU HIF44 and Rockwatt manifold. Not 100% sure what is retained and what can go.
The carb bolts are from the top of the carb. Another Spanish variation?

Between other tasks, in the household, put the rear bumper on temporarily and attached rear fog lights. Some fettling of both needed before final fixing.

Some activity during last day or so. Rear bumper finally fixed on all 6 No M6 bolts. Required some persuasion but in the end all firmly in their respective captive nuts. Front bumper requires a good sand down and treatment. A start has been made. Lot more to do though.
