Run new 3/8 fuel feed and a 5/16 return line - really struggled to get a descent line with the long lengths of pipe without kinking!!!

Fitted an inline filter midway .

I've tried fitting a fuel pressure reg on the return side of the carb - Seems to work even though Holley tell me it's not correct , but I'm gonna try it anyway.
It all seems ok so far but not tested the road fully .

Kev, whatsaap all your pics to me and I'll put them on here in what ever order you want.

I think I can see a little dust sitting on top of the fuel line. :)

Stunning car and workmanship. :salute:

Pretty scabby looking so striped cleaned and painted in Matt Black then applied the Decals - the only fiddle part was the strips of numbers for the mileometer especially when you have sausages for fingers!!!

The miles on the clock before were over 99.000 so I decided to re-set to zero
Also painted the needles with fluorescent float paint.

If you notice on the Alternator facia I've swapped out the Ammeter for a Voltmeter- bit of messing around but nothing to serious

Repaired the cracks and made a section for the dash facia so I could fit the old original radio back in - then painted it satin black and lightly coated it with a brown plastic paint then with a corse brush dipped in thinners dragged it over the wet paint to create a wood effect(amazingly it worked OK )
