Needs a bit of cosmetic work but nothing serious. Just finished tuning it up and sounds good, may need a rebuild kit on the carburettor at some point in the near future.

Got an electronic ignition kit on order that should be here soon.

Thanks! The photos make it look slightly better than it is but then again for a 40 year old car (1971 vintage) it is solid underneath.

Thanks! That was two coats of Auto Glym ultra deep shine.

It needs another couple of coats once I've driven up country! I may also have to tidy up the N/S arch and lower quarters on both sides with some teal.. :-)
