Return of the Swordfish - Part 2

Context:
The last time I was able to drive my donor car was 21st July 2012.



And until today, I had never actually driven a Sammio in any of its various forms.

Now Mister Towed set a high standard for the dress code for a first drive.



But that was after his first MOT, so I kept it casual today.

Although, I should have put some sunglasses on as it looks like I'm wincing.



But obviously just a photo was never going to be enough to mark this occasion.

So here is a short video clip of a very slow and steady test dive, with me clearly missing reverse at the first attempt.

Finally, here are a couple of photos of just a few of the jobs that were done to the engine.

An oil pressure sensor has been fitted and the fuel filter given a new home.



Which tidies up the fuel line to the carbs.



At some point I can finally get rid of my wheel "chocks".



As I now have a working hand brake too.



My list of "other stuff" to do means no actual car work today.

But I am really looking forward to working my way through all the remaining jobs required.

Until next time, take care, Paul.
