I sourced a genuine Rover sportspack fog lamp loom for the front lamps and installed that so we now have a full compliment of driving lamps
More black bits gong on
And some new door cards and door furniture too
The to do list is getting shorter now
Cheers

Up on stands this afternoon
This was so I could fix an exhaust leak, grease up the suspension, wax the cavities and re-check and adjust the rear shoes.
Back on its wheels, I ran it outside for some photos
The photos don't do the colour and justice at all. In the metal it is very vibrant. Its also amazing how much different it looks outside to inside.
Although the engine runs sweet and revs cleanly and crisply, there is quite a lot of hesitation and bogging down when you try to actually drive it. I'm gonna pop it on the emissions tester and see what it says. Im expecting it to be rich.

Yup, lambda was sky high.
Spoke to Jack from sc and he advised me to calibrate the tps which I did and it now drives well.
It's very lively!
Although it did break down on the first drive!
The fuel pump stopped pumping. Turned out to be the fuse. Replaced that and it's now all Good!

Looks great Ben, it would be good to see it in the flesh if it's still with you on Monday when I drop my one off.
