Got round to adjusting the tappets, one was a little tight and all the others needed a little tweak. While the metal pipe was off from the manifold to the egrs I took the oppotunity to leave it off and blank the manfold up. Also took the butterfly out of the intake. Took collapsed drivers seat out and bolstered it up with some wood, will have to alter it though as my head is now wedged on the roof lining.

Refitted door mirrors, refitted scuttle panel, refitted manual hubs, topped up with oil, topped up the power steering fluid, gave it a quick wash and a blow dry round the block.

Still need to re-align steering wheel and whilst I'm at it retighten the steering column bolts.

Ste - that paint job looks rather smart.
