May have figured out my prop problem we will see tomorrow if what I have planned works.
Today after work I removed old plugs replaced with new and charged battery over night car still wouldn't start have spark but no fuel "fuel pump has died so ordered 1 from Gary @rsClassics tempery as I will get a new uprated one but this will do for time being so I can run car.

Right good news, well over due. After fuckups like illness/rain/parts not turning up etc Simon came this morning wired fans, gauges and fuel pump etc he even managed to get my pump running however pump is shagged it doesn't make anywhere near enough pressure for her to fire over as BOA need min of 3bar sprayed easy start bang she fired up and ran for min or 2. So now saph cossie tank, pump cradle arrived minus sender unit which Gary will send out in morn as he forgot as soon as it arrives will fit it all but need to source another cradle as one I got is very bad not saveable!

Right here goes wanna cry lol stripped tank down and cleaned up with wire disc on grinder all was fine then I came to do around the flow and return pipe so 1st up I had to remove the hoses that came attached. Undid jubilee clip on return and thewhole thing fell off, flow just came straight off to then fine a big hole and a small hole in the base of the connection, so msged Gary @ rsclassics he is gonna send another tank but I am umming and arring about buying a new 1!
put a right downer on things as I had ordered 2m of braided an-6 ptfe fuel hose and the banjo fittings to make the 2 pipes I need (pump to accumulator and accumulator to filter) also ordered the cradle anti vibration rubbers and got a black saph rs steering off of Fil (will add pics of all the above and more in bit or tomorrow) also stripped down and cleaned cradle then acid etch primer and then primer will paint Friday and if tank comes by weekend car will be running!

yep not far off I plan on going Holland in Sept for the European Ford Event and looked like I'd be going in Saph but not now 
Because she needs to go in my cousins to have new wing and 2 inner sills fitted and need to take her on a good run 1st too (to me nans in Norfolk 3hr) 6hr all in as I don't really fancy going on a 5hr30min drive too Holland in another country and something happening.....

Gary sending me a replacement bud all i did was remove the off cute of pipe it came with and found the hole on flow and the return just fell apart! Was gonna buy a new 1 may still do that in month or 2. But for now the replacement should be on its way and will be good enough to get the old girl back on the road for now

Yeah wee bit pissed off to be fair as wanted her for Holland!! Plus haven't heard back from Gary whether he sent another tank out and I need her running then once run in I can sort my niggles out like fitting proper aeroquip fitting instead of jubilee's, removing plenum and rocker covers to spray them change my grey dash for black and few other bits plus she got to have driver wing inner rear sills and respray!
