Well I had a great day working on Jennifer .....I finished fitting out engine bay...........



Then I filled her up with oil and water left out plugs and turned engine over untill I had a good oil pressure 75psi re fitted plugs and tested all electrics, once I was happy with electrics I connected dizzy and coil snd Hey Presto Jennifer started for the first time in 4 years ............Joy oh joy..........Ran for 10 mins till warmthen added an oil flush and ran rod 20 mins, drained oil and refilled with Corma 20/50 oil @ £50 well worth it and she runs as sweet as candy.......This just leaves brakes to bleed, tracking, front bumper and spots , and arches this week.............
