bit of an update, havent been on here much lately,
got the old girl started, was running on 2 cylinders for a bit till i realised two plug leads had been mixed up.
this put the firing order out.
i switched these and she roared into life.... gotta love it...

i am chasing a drivers side gaurd at the moment if anyone has one, tried monza motors in baysie,
but they didnt have any....

cheers batesy
