Bit of cheap 7mm adhesive chrome strip off eBay finishes off the head rest nicely.

Failed miserably when one of the rear shoes fell apart at the 11th hour. So, on with what I should have been doing 6 months ago…

Thanks, I think that would suit my needs.

Look good to me, I’d be happy with that. Where did you get the vinyl from? It looks very much like the colour I need for a job.

Cheers Pete, forecast is lousy but you never know…

That’ll do, gives me a whole 3 hours Tomorrow to prep the car before heading off to the track….

Popped the top off the paint this morning and realised the colour was way lighter than it was supposed to be :roll: quick dash to the paint shop for another go and it’s all good. Interior colour matches the door panels and its body colour in the boot. Glad that jobs out of the way it’s been bugging ...

40 thou preload isn’t enough with modern hydraulic lifters, also Hughes don’t recommend heavier than 30 weight oil.

We shall speak no more of this….

Rear number plate mounting looked wrong to me withe the plate obscuring the number plate light. Turns out this bracket is only used on the 73-74 cars with impact bumpers, 70-72 cars don’t have it. The use of a license plate frame with only upper mounting bolts needed an adaptor plate making.

I always weld in a Lambda bung into the exhaust so you can tune with an AFR meter.
