Well done ! Whilst hearing your engine run I got to thinking about those roller rockers the guys sell-on ebay , I think - they sure would make our Rootes engines much more quiet plus other good things too..just don't have the bucks...
Plans have changed slightly, the external paint will now be done by a local paint shop. I have decided trying to get the finish I want in my garage is unlikely and I've found someone who produces excellent work so I'm happy for him to do it. This means I have to put the car back together so it can be MOT'd (unless I can find someone with a car trailer to move it).
The rear lights are all back in and working, rear bumper is back on. Most of the interior is back in, just a few jobs to finish. Slight problem found last night with a water pump leak once up to pressure so that will have to be cured. Bit of a pain but if that is the worst thing that happens I'll be happy!
Alas..... So many cars..... so little time! Been there, done that.... still am when I think about it. Is good to hear you're almost done Jason. Looking forward to parking up alongside at the 2014 Nationals!
Building the 'Mark II' fastback Rapier ('Arrocuda').
Sadly not Jason - life seems to have taken over somewhat.Immediate plan is to get my Saab 900 Carlsson back on the road but struggling with that to be honest!Looking forward to seeing your H120 in all it's glory you've done a great job
Seems that the link might not be working which I'll try to fix. In the meantime, the news is the engine is running and remarkably well after all this time.
Looking fantastic ! out of interest I ask whether the Holbays all had six blade cooling fans ? I know they are scarce as hens teeth and expensive too, been looking for one myself for a long time, saw a few got gobbled up on ebay .
Apologies for the stupid question but what is the white box on top of the brake servo?
That is the amplifier for the electronic ignition. I have managed to route the cable through the car instead of having them trail across the engine bay which I am pleased about
Bringing BJU back to life - FINISHED :)
