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.
