Been a while since I updated this,
Bought some high temp paint, so painted the back drums while I had the wheels off
Polished the lip on the wheels
Painted the manifold while I had it off to replace gaskets
Flange which had exhaust leak
Chopped the exhaust and welded a flexy join in:

Exhaust back on the car
Took it in for a tune, to find out why it wasn't running right, needed new points and condenser.
Pulled the thermostat housing to check the thermostat, cause the auto choke was coming off to early, and found a crack in the thermostat housing so that had to go, also the thermostat was nowhere to be seen.
Ordered a new thermostat housing, but couldn't find a thermostat clip in NZ so made one,
I could only get a cortina housing which meant the top hose had to be modified, planning on running an electric fan anyway so put in a water temp adaptor to join two hoses
work in progress shot of covering back panels, I still need to take some of the finished panels, and the one door card that I have made so far.
Also have electric fan which I need to finish wiring and mounting.
I'm sure there's some stuff I've missed as well
