Thankyou, yes think there are some photos earlier on in the build

Managed to get back to work on the car last night and tidied up a few things and fitted the new washer bag

State of the art technology....if you lived in 1950!  Old school idea that still works today.

Out of interest, what exhaust did you go for? We're going to (finally!) be sourcing a new one for ours in the next few weeks...

edit - just noticed that caliper - lovely!!

Right havnt had a lot of time to update the build but here goes
Finished a lot of small jobs off, got the clocks wired in and working
54F5BF7A-9C73-41BF-BFDE-03CA2C8FCBB6-100
The 70amp alternator fitted and wired up
9BAC5A74-8356-44A3-8DC7-C73D4C87AF9E-100
The carb is off my cooper as I know this one works and I think as I'm not familiar with the twin setup to run in the engine
39FAE913-37BC-41F4-BE9C-CF4C10195573-100
I needed to wire up the ignition module so I used the one off the cooper as a pattern. On the OE one there was a rubber cover to keep the water out I found the covers off the braided hoses are perfect for the job
CB75D622-7913-478B-A99C-FF87B17EA6EF-100
611CDDCB-33EF-4360-8C0C-B38471180038-100
And got the sliders fitted to the Perspex windows

Lol I will have to start making some more lol.....

Good news!!, I've had the engine running , needs a few tweeks and a couple of small leaks sorted( heater tap and rocker cover )
But it was good to see it all working and the gauges reading well!!
