Just finished off the last few Resto Jobs on the Car
Repaired a small spot of grot on the corner of the Rear Tailgate
Annoyingly, the end plates of the Fuel Rail started to weep fuel which blistered the paint job
Bought some fuel resistant gasket paper, removed both end plates and installed a gasket, that sorted it.
Managed to pull apart the L/H Driveshaft trying to remove it from the Diff.
Fitted a new replacement Driveshaft, it's the ABS type but fitted the non-ABS hub OK.
Could not get the Hydraulic Tappets to stop tapping, so I bought and fitted a brand new set of INA tappets.
That sorted them, no more tapping.
Restored and refitted the whole Interior, the only thing that needed replacement was the rear view mirror.
Got the car insured under a Classic Car "Agreed Value" Insurance Policy and trundled off for the MOT/
And it passed.....
This Resto has been a long journey, but I am now looking forward to driving the old girl.
Moral of the story, never give up, you will get there in the end....
