I hope you had a shandy or two last night to celebrate, well done W(p
I look forward to meeting you & seeing the car next year at a meet somewhere.
It is so much easier to work on it when the car is roadworthy.

Cheers mate, yeah I may have had a little tipple. I'll make a valiant attempt to not take her apart again before the season starts this year and actually make it to some events. :lol:

Well if anyone is feeling a bit blue on this rather damp and forlorn day then here's a story that might make you feel better about your situation. Not surprisingly it was the result of my occasional mind blowing stupidity that saw me dragging me 7 around for ages trying to get it started (after what I assumed was a major flooding) thanks the MOT station ignoring my advice to let it do a heat cycle before it's shut down again. Up and down my road we went for a good half an hour, my business partner even commenting quite helpfully that it "hadn't ever buggered us around this much before" until I gave up due to a rapidly approaching deadline to get my life together for a family firework display in our garden. So with dismay I pushed it to one side on the driveway with my 10 year steering. "Turn the ignition on till the lights on the dash light up so you can steer" I said, which he obediently did and there went the familiar hum/buzz/apocalyptic drone (dependant on hangover status) of the fuel pump. I started pushing and out the corner of my eye spotted the fuel pressure gauge on the regulator.....




















.....it was out of bloody fuel wasn't it.

Must sort that gauge out. f-f
