Hi all thanks for the kind comments..here is the pics of the car when I got her home, showing basically how the previous owner left it..the brakes were stuck so I just replaced the cylinders and refitted the shoes greasing the moving parts..engine turned over but did not start
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif)
This was due to a dodgy fuel pump so after cleaning the carb,replacing all fuel lines and fitting a new fuel pump she fired up after a few try's..the engine ran quite lumpy so I adjusted the ingnition timing to 10 btdc as opposed to tdc the Haynes manual says

I also noticed the ignition was replaced with a simon bbc electronic ignition kit so that saved me a few quid as I don't really like the points and condenser system..after a quick drive up the road she ran crap
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
but after some carb fettling she's not to bad now but still needs a proper rolling road setup.
I decided to take her for a mot (for the failure sheet) but to my amassment she passed
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
with no advisories so I was well chuffed and proud...now she's taxed and fully road legal so just waiting for some good weather to go for a long drive...
Pics of her after I got home
The interior was wet and damp and stunk..there was wires everywhere
Non running engine
Here's a link to a YouTube video of her in her first stages after getting engine up and running
