I think I can draw this thread to a conclusion with the return to roadworthiness achieved now. I will be pursuing many of the items covered along the way, including but not limited to; silicone cooling pipe set (suspended following the disaster in the Philippines directly involving the developer), induction kit (to follow but similarly affected), manifolds (sometime next year), de-cat or sports cat front section after that, wheel refurb in the spring, respray work when the funds allow in the spring, major service (still needed), geo-setup, replacement clutch and by then probably new brakes.... So I'm not out of the woods before the Centenary run but at least I understand how the car is put together and nothing on it bothers me to tackle
It may not look it but actually it has already come a very long way!
