Sweet!

BRILLIANT
Everything seems to be working.

New rad and themostat installed.

Temp constant through the town in traffic and drops on the open road.

I am really pleased as all the restoration work I wanted to do is now done.
  1. No clacking exhaust manifold noise.
  2. Perfect cooling system.
  3. No PAS leak.
  4. Car is completely water tight.
  5. Speakers upgraded.
  6. Alarm sounder fixed.
  7. Dashboard squeaks fixed.
  8. Tidied up dashboard leather.
  9. Re-trimmed doors.
  10. Re-sealed doors.
  11. Fixed window closure.
  12. Windscreen sorted out.
  13. Idles well - mixture is perfect.
The only things I'd consider doing now are:
  1. New seat belts (the old ones got wet and now stick a bit sometimes)
  2. Respray - paint work is looking rather tired
  3. GAZ or Nitron shock absorbers
  4. New discs and pads
  5. Remove precats - (maybe)
When I get time I'll take some proper pictures and get some PDF tutorials up and online.
