Not very good at finishing projects, thought I better take it for a quick drive today though..

Still to do:

  • Fix RH Rear camber issue
  • Wheel alignment
  • Get wipers working (amazing British Leyland era Lucas cable wiper system and it appears they built the car around it)
  • Sort out carb tune
  • Repair broken trim

Then it should be time to try and get a WOF!

Getting closer now, almost ready!

Of course the more you look at something the more issues you find/remember..

Still to do:

  • Fix RH Rear camber issue (Had a bracket installed the wrong way around, woops)
  • Wheel alignment
  • Get wipers working
  • Sort out carb tune
  • Repair broken trim
  • Gearbox shift linkage
  • Engine belts

Finally got around to taking it through a WOF, passed everything except the rear drum brakes - imbalanced.

Upon further inspection we found that the only shoe that was working (cylinder half seized) was attempting to grip onto oil covered drums (the grip coming from the dried up oil I guess).

It's times like these when you realise you are working on a incredibly rare car, made of parts from another car that was produced in a country that no longer exists..

Thankfully it is a pretty basic system, parts are on the way so should finally get a WOF in a week or so!
