Looking good mate, always nice working with clean parts!

New baulk rings? Central pipe?

Thats pretty much the plan as long as I don't find any nasty suprises when I strip it :shy:.

I'm pretty sure I saw some in Halfords, because I was looking for some too.

I'd imagine that'd be a chunk cheaper!

Got some Cillit Bang from asda the other day, not too bad at around £2.50. I'll give it a go on some engine bits later this evening I think.

I was going to go and work on the bodywork today but I didn't get back in to Lancaster until 2pm and it's been really windy so I didn't bother. With any luck it'll be nice tomorrow and I'll get myself out of bed and go and crack on with her.

While I've not been able to work on the car I've been making these:

Going to print two out now and get them cut out of some 9mm MDF sheet later tonight with any luck.

I'll try to make my next update a little more interesting :D.
