If the connector block is no good let me know I will send you one of the kit parts I have they work well. (Have a few six way spare) bit fiddly to put together but the final plug is good.

It does seem so close at the moment. The next big step will be to see if the damn thing starts once I get the alternator and start solenoid in!

 

The missing parts from minspares turned up this morning which is fantastic as I only rang them at 2pm yesterday.

Forgot to post these as my uncle found them on this computer the other day and emailed them over to me. 

 

This was me circa 17 years old and learning to drive in my old 850cc called 'Junior' as the number plate was JNR 347L.

Wish I'd of kept that car. I still know where it is as my mate has it and restoring it at the moment. Shame he's going to change the colour though! maybe I should try and have it off him before he does.
