Re-connected positive lead from battery ready for first proper run of new engine this week, bent up pipe from fuel pump to carbs - I re-purposed the old one from the 998 but at some point I'll re-make it with new pipe now I've got a template. Checked fuel and water pipe clamps and fitted thermostat cover. Sprayed brake servo. Sprayed second head steady bracket but every time I rub it back the next coat reacts with the previous one so I'll leave it off for now and have it powdercoated.

Went for a drive. Throttle stuck on at about 4000rpm.? Something to potter on with during the week.

Cut and fitted N/S Polycarb windows, fitting O/S windows today. Hopefully cutting the rear window today too.

Filled and welded up the aerial hole in the wing (the aerial on mine is in the roof)

Might have a tidy inside for peace of mind.

Finally found a set of 5 nice aluminium wheels to replace my standard 3,5" steelies.

They are the 4-spoke wheels from the Leyland Trophy in France back in the mid to end of the 70's.

 

I think they will help cooling down the Cooper S front brake!

Can't wait to have them home!!

Removed front windscreen.

Removed scuttle panel.

Removed both front wings and front panel, ready for when I can buy and fit a flip front. Scuttle was only supposed to be a repair but is too far gone and needs replacing.
