Sold. To that man Frosty over there.
In other news I got myself a two for one offer 
well not really but two from phoenix trims where cheaper than one from minispares.
My battery terminals turn up as well so hopefully Sunday I can run the power cables to the front... and then... ITS POWER TIME!

My box of bits came with oil for running in randomly, so will just need the expensive stuff.
What terminals crimp solder or screw type? Always the best bit getting it to fire up after all the hard work.
Hopefully fitting last wing to TET Sunday may just be ready for next summer.

Crimp ones to attach the battery cut off switch which will break the power from the battery to solenoid.
Thats the rear window rubber above I might add ;O)
One Carb Or Two?

Looking good, have you chosen the rear bumpers on purpose, do you prefer them, as they are clubman estate rear bumpers, as to my knowledge these where never fitted to vans I may be wrong, link below you'll see the difference.

They are the ones that came off it when I bought it CC.
I wasn't actually aware they are estate bumpers so thank you for that. As you can see they are pretty beat up so I'm changing them at some point anyway so will make sure I get the right ones.

Hard to see quality of them from pics, but as they are clubman ones they are hard to get hold of so worth selling on, but good thing is the van bumpers are still been made and I think look better as not as stubby. Just one small detail in the scheme of things.

Interesting to know cheers.
They are not too bad one needs re threading and you could hammer the dents out.

This weekends to do list was this little lot.
Rear window glass and rubber in. I couldn't work out which window fitted which side as the embossed marks seemed odd. One faces the outside and one the inside of the car but apparently it's meant to be like that.
Moved on to wiring the pump in and fitting the hoses. I've bought the relay so just that to wire into the engine bay.
Fitted oil transfer pipe, clutch slave + hose, starter wiring & radiator. I have a problem with the radiator mount though as it wont line up with the cowling at all.
Starting to look complete now.
Got the front end wet though!!!!! 
Then came the battery cable and battery cut off.
Getting ever so close to starting now
