Our very own "barn find"...

Making some progress again.  All new brake lines going on the car.

Very nice Evan, it's coming along well.

Hi Evan,
The car looks like it's coming along nicely and you can probably see the light at the end of the tunnel. Should be brilliant when its finally finished and enjoy the rewards of your hard work for this ground up restoration. The barn yard post is a great idea to share your experience and gather information and assistance along the way. Maybe a power point presentation combined with any videos taken along the way on You tube after you have got it back on the road might be worth considering as you will definitely get a lot of interest/hits worldwide.
Cheers

These came in a while ago but I forgot to take pictures.  Weber carburettors refurbished by Thornbury Carburettor Service.

Engine and gearbox assembly almost ready to be dropped in.

Brake line and reservoir details done.

Looking good mate!

Just a tip, i always take the carbies off when chucking the engines back in, just gives you some extra room to play with so you don't scratch that nice engine bay, also gives you good vision of the engine mount on the drivers side.

Hi Evan,

Look forward to seeing and hearing the car when finished. 

Pleased to know Thornbury are still in business.  I used to buy most of my Dellorto bits from them and Wilsons back in the pre EFI days.  They know their stuff.

Hope all goes well.

A great blog.
Thank you of the restoration insights.

Some great progress in the last month.  I've been a bit grounded with a broken ankle and crutches, but still following progress keenly.

Headlights fitted up.

And finally the current state with hundreds of little under-bonnet details completed.  It will start this week!  First time since 1999.

Looking great Evan, very exciting.

Looks great . Don't forget the washer bag.
