This is exactly why I haven't yet wanted to fit the 4-barrel manifold I have. -

I got tired of messing around with the externally regulated alternator after a few years (too many flat battery/jump start experiences) and swapped to a used internally regular alternator instead. -
There's a lot of info in this thread if you wade through it Personally, I've avoided 2K paint (which includes epoxy primer) because of the health risks.

Good news that the shakedown trip went well - a sign of a quality build.

Other side. I wanted to keep the channel that the seal sits in. I bought this little bead roller ages ago, first time I've really used it, I fiddled with the wheel spacing to use it as a tipping wheel - setting the curved flange for the door skin. Worked out quite well. Checking the fit of the bottom piece on the car All done, except for the welding, grinding, painting, and refitting............

WOF man told me at the last WOF (back in May) that I needed to fix the rust in the back door. Not really sure it should have been a fail point, but oh well. Only a few small holes. Kind of weird where they are too. Seemed easier to remove the door, had some hassles with the hinge attachments, but got it off. Hinges are welded to the door itself.

Usually the proportioning valve is only in the rear brake line, and won't affect the fronts.

Nice going, been a while! -
That's a pretty big list to deal with. Hopefully there is something obvious with the brakes.

Handbrake test on gravel might give you an indication?

Looking very nice. Will you need to get those front arms crack tested? If so do it before paint/powdercoating.

Tempted.

The TIG I bought came with a foot pedal fitted. As a learner I found it hard to judge how many amps I was giving it (can't look at the machine display in the middle of a weld). I took it off and went back to the trigger switch the first time I needed to weld away from the bench - can't really use a pedal when you are kneeling on the floor welding a chassis tab.
