Ok, so, now has an MOT. needed a new steering rack (turns out it is mk2, not mk 1 - very different threads on track rod ends, and tapers are very different - as we found when BiL took to the test - steering effectively just wobbled around on its own! But all done now. Fitted a new washer bottle - it had teh pipe work but no bottle. Got rid of massive air horns and he is to sort out column horn push. Back end is sitting off - drivers side is higher - so maybe a duff passenger side spring. Then next BIG issue os the overheating - clearly has serious issues. Need to get timing right, then carbs and then work through the heating system to get it right. Joys of kit cars.
But for me, my car should be with me next week subject to trailer hire etc, so it will be less Dutton for me, and more Miglia as I build my own car - wish me luck :-)
