From the top it looked ok and the photos hid a few scratches/chips etc.


I wanted to fit a new built engine and bring the car up to a concourse like standard.
While the engine was out it made sense to have the bay painted.

Unfortunatly since then its kind of spiraled out of control and everything is being replaced/restored.

You just need to get the anal wand out mate, give it a few shakes and tap it on the rocker cover and as if by magic it looks like the above

Mate I'd love to but it gets used everyday and I normally work 6days a week, resulting in being to lazy on the sunday

we'll see once the weather picks up

I thought it was the fuel accumulator which is under the car by the tank. Fuel filter was in the same place as the Series 2? Then the series 2 had the accumulator moved to the chassis by the metering head?

Fuel filter is in the engine bay on the inner wing on both S1 and S2.

Believe me.

If it wasnt mine would not be there!..
