Got it running! Finally got the new engine finished so it could fire up for the first time since August.

Also bled the clutch, adjusted the rear drums, fitted a balljoint, got the exhaust connected to the LCB (kind of..) and had a general tidy up. Productive day I think!

Why on earth is there foam in the rear bins? I've got loads in mine and pulled it out to discover lots of lovely rusty bits underneath! lovely...
