Selling my house and looking fro anew job laugh On the serious side, I'm going to experiment with the induction and make some new roof section covers. I'm also watching the thread about ballasting the fuel sender and may do that if it works.

I'm just finishing off tidying up the dashboard veneer effect, and replacing the carpets, then I'll upgrade to the newer brake servo and master cylinder, then re-cover the inside of the roof panels.

Might also repaint the front suspension if I'm not busy.

Oh, and carry on trying to find a firm which can do the finish I want on my Estorils, hopefully in time for Spa.

Renovate hood (done). By the way, Renovo colour reviver works just as well on the inside if yours looks a bit stained and grubby. Paint brake drums and calipers, replace roof seals, dinitrol everwhere I can reach. Restore leather seat facings, remove bonnet and refit properly (maybe new hinges). Sort out passenger side door hinges properly. And, if funds permit, bonnet respray.

PS - this list is sure to grow.......

Hopefully getting my project to resemble a car, rather than an interesting collection of parts!
