rusty260z 1974 DAIMLER S2 SOVEREIGN in Pink

[rusty260z]

While the other unreliable car (Rx8) was not working, decided to buy another unreliable car.

Its got a 350 chev, changed by many owners back

power windows, and pink interior.

painted wire wheels, which i may keep or go back to standard wheel

Aim is to tidy things slowly to get it to a usable classic, for long trips etc.

possibly removing the vinyl roof and paint to match car

but all is next winter, hopefully some summer cruises

Some minor works needed for wof, but nothing major,

Update 1: service and few minor works for wof, new wof obtained.

Needed new battery and some fuel did start, 

heater works, which is a bonus for the rain we are having

Will attempt to drive it to work tomorrow.

Also it stalls at times when taking off from stand still, any chevy 350 gurus know the solution to this?  I will put a engine bay pic up tomorrow.

Winter UPDATE

Summer of driving went well, did not let me down once on start up or driving.

Had to install rear seat belts, kids were enjoying the freedom a bit too much

 A lot of minor items sorted out, door locks, electric window, windscreen blower works but no heat, will take to auto ac/heater person later

New wof - needs breaks overhauled, water leak into ca (in process) after wof will take it to make it louder.  Attend Jaguar club events after its back on road.

Summer goal is sounds, want to get radio to work, rock old cassette tapes.
