Jobs still to do. Fix the battery in place. Replace gasket on fuel tank lid. Work out some splitter lip. Reposition seat and get wiper working.

And get some "Start ya bastrd" or stip the carb down and clean out all the jets. Anyone got a PDF manual for an IDA?

Well cleaned the mains and the idles and it was still not quite right. Oops nothing coming out of the accelerator jets.

Guess what tomorrow's job is?

What suspension was your white Metro running?! That thing looked like it didn't even care for a hairpin!

 

Mini looks awesome too!

Tomorrow patching some holes in the doors where the panels fit. Too many self tappers have been in and out over the years.
