Mostly been spending my time getting the garage ready to work on the car. Will be taking it off the road for the next year or so in order to get it the way I want.

Yesterday finished off the lighting on that side of the garage as currently gets dark at 4.30pm. New workbench and tool cart coming next week. Still undecided on a lift, will see how it goes with ramps and axle stands first.

Tightened the nut on the solenoid side of the 100A fuse so it actually starts now!

And started to fit a new charge cooler pump to this beastie

Tightened a nut and stripped the front seat on this:

I aspired to one of those back in 72. Never made it but still think that they were "the business" at the time......

They're relatively cheap still but just starting to rise in value.

Saloons were 3.0 straight 6s but the coupes could be had with the newfangled Rover V8 3500 iirc.

Fitted an Elise front drivers seat yesterday, half a days work what a pita!

Just about to fit the passenger side.

Wife's at work, it's peeing down, bacon sandwich in one hand, garage stereo on, life doesn't get much better

Both Saloons and Coupés were for many years produced only as straight 6 3L but from 1968 the 3.5L V8 was available in both and effectively replaced the 3 litre.

Well last nite, installed the new fuel tank into its final position fiddled with the new tube fuel sender, nor more swingy arm type and this should be more accurate.

Assembled the new rear hispec brake discs ready to go on.

I'm currently setting my garage up, racking up, lights up, first layer of paint up, with thanks to Goeff
