Hi Andrew, Yeah, probably just going to cut it all out to fit a stereo..... just kidding! Going to leave it in one piece for now, I really need to concentrate on getting it stripped, rebuilt and on the road before my attention wanders! (and I run out of money!)Quote:

Got the carby back from the rebuilder on Thursday. Will get it back on the car over the weekend. I'm very happy with how it came back, all cleaned up and with the throttle shaft bushed. (The casing was quite badly worn, it had about 1mm of slop with a new shaft).

So, started to pull it all apart today. It was a day filled with dirt, inox, trying to work out the imperial system, giving up on trying to work out the imperial system, lots of plastic bags, siezed uncaptured nuts, and finally that deep seated feeling of "this is going to be a lot more work than I thought".
Some more photos during the day:

Pile of parts is growing!

These did not want to come undone, ended up going overkill and using a 3/4"drive Milwaukee impact wrench, (which just laughed at them):

The worst bit of rust found so far on the car, hidden by the fuel tank:

Removing the tub the cheaty way:

Little bit of surface rust, but nothing to be too concerned about:

Some more holes in the drivers side of the rear cross member, an easy fix fortunately:

Starting to look a bit bare now!
