Tried to remove clutch housing cover , what a job , still can’t get to the rear bolt at the bottom, clutch is seized so trying to free it off .

tried driving it in 4th and braking hard but no joy ( brakes are poor ) so I need to see what’s wrong inside , car has been sitting for many years and is a complete restoration job .

Did a bit more work on a couple of SPI inlet manifolds. One on the right is nearly done, one on the left has only had its initial clean up so I can see how bad it is...it’s bad, probably the worst I’ve ever seen, the pipes and 2 of the core plugs are rusted through but it’s thankfully saveable!
