Just got back from my run north, throat cleared up enough for me to go.

Replacment sunroof and a few other odds and ends brought back for the project efi.

All being well, I will get it fitted and the head liner redone tomorow.
Will also put 6 months on it and take it for a run if completed.

Well the sunroof has now been changed over.
Still can't find my "trim -Fix" spray glue for the head liner!.
Cleaned out the auto choke set up and will be changing a calliper today to rectify the spongyness.

Car is now road legal though.(taxed it today.)

Brakes done, I "bit the bullet" and bought some more trim fix spray adhesive.
Hope to do the headliner tomorow.

Then it's time for a major cleaning blitz.

Had the car up the road and back (5 miles each way), runs like a dream, pulls like a train and so far no knocks or rattles to be concerned about.

Still thinking of passing it on, or has it wormed its way into your heart by now?

It will be up for sale once I am happy with it.
No point selling on if there is a chance of a mechanical issue later on.
Apart from cleaning and a coat of wax, no body/paint repairs will be carried out, as it would not be financialy advisable as Im not keeping it.

Nothing much for a new owner to do anyway, so will be a nice winter finishing project for the next owner.

Will advise when it's available.

This car now has a new home in North Yorkshire.

Car and Owner seem to be very happy with each other! :D

No, it's okay; I think it was probably for the best :)
