DaleAlford Posted 8February, 2016 Report Share Posted 8February, 2016 I just had a read as well - during lunch. Dale, I lagged you in to your boss. He's on his way to see you.

LeeM Posted 9February, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 9February, 2016 It's home, it's running and I've driven it (in a controlled enviroment ofcourse......probably) So good to not see any thick blue smoke out of the exhaust. Very happy man!!!!LHD is weird though!Fitted the rear bumpers and valance, now just have to sort the tail lights out after i wired them up wrong, general clean up, polish the thing and book it in for rego inspection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-Kay Posted 11February, 2016 Report Share Posted 11February, 2016 You must be over the moon to have completed this journey (almost there)The wait has well and truly been worth it as it has turned out a stunning car!!!Congrats and enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 11February, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 11February, 2016 Thanks mate, much appreciated. It has been a very long journey, for me anyway, yet I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I never wanted a concourse car, and I've basically got exactly what I had envisaged at the beginning. There is a bit of a carb problem (accelerator pump), so that will be fixed when some new old stock carbs are fitted. I won't be running it much until that is sorted within a few weeks, as its probably running way too lean at the moment, and I don't wish to risk doing any damage to the rebuilt engine. In the meantime, I'm looking at dying the carpet to make it a bit more presentable (which was my original plan), yet some say to leave it as it is for originality. Decisions, decisions! I'll also be removing some bits n pieces to ensure a better fit, as I did rush a few things with my expectation of having it ready a few months ago which didn't happen. Its taken this long to get to where it is, so a few more weeks won't hurt.....probably! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
