Well people, the car passed the MOT with flying colours, no advisary, absolutely perfect 
Driving with twin master cylinders is hard work tho, my right leg will soon be very muscular
Couple of little teething problems - slight scuffage on the back arches, so new springs fitting now, and the rear diff bush has died, so the prop ever so slightly catches the hole in the beam on overrun, but I should be able to sort something by rotating the bush to its un-collapsed position for now
Borrowed a machine polisher, and going to give the bonnet and roof a buff to give them a bit of shine, as with the overspray dust, they are now matt - moody old touring car

I hope you don't mind coming over and helping out with my engine mounts etc...mate as i have bought a suitable vehicle now
Bought a 318is which already has a few sport bits on it inc trim and has no chrome etc
Goes well with its 140bhp n/a engine but i suspect it may get quicker
