Little more:

After the fun and games that were the fueling issuses got solved.
It turned out to be nothing more dramatic than the injector cap was on the idle valve and the idle valve cap was on the injector and trying to do each others job.
Note to self, when ever there is a problem, check the idiot in the ill fitting overalls first.

As I had the fuel rail and injectors out I fitted a new set of o rings and wired everything up tidily (this time with red tape for the idle valve )

Obviously you cant see the o rings, but that's no reason not to post a pic of a cossie engine.



Now that the engine is purring again, I am just waiting to fix a couple of bits and bobs and then the car can drop on to her wheels for a clutch/ running gear check.
In the meantime I have been doing odds and sods, like stripping the seats for a bit of re upholstery.
I did think of new Cobras for her, but I have got used to the 27yr old seat I have shaped to my fat arse.
Plus I think from the complete lack of weight and weave that they are kevlar. (not cheap to replace)



Her body has been getting a bit of a tart up.
I'm not intending to remove any of her major dings and dents, just smooth out some of the cracks that regularly appear as most of the panels are just riveted on.
