This weekends to do list was this little lot.
Rear window glass and rubber in. I couldn't work out which window fitted which side as the embossed marks seemed odd. One faces the outside and one the inside of the car but apparently it's meant to be like that.
Moved on to wiring the pump in and fitting the hoses. I've bought the relay so just that to wire into the engine bay.
Fitted oil transfer pipe, clutch slave + hose, starter wiring & radiator. I have a problem with the radiator mount though as it wont line up with the cowling at all.
Starting to look complete now.
Got the front end wet though!!!!! :shy: hno: :lol:
Then came the battery cable and battery cut off.
Getting ever so close to starting now

As you can see from the wet patches on the floor under the end. I has a somewhat large oil leak from the timing cover! I think one of the threads has gone so I need to strip the rad down again and re tap it.
