Cheers Nelmo, have switched so now it blows through, strange how things get built or added and not checked properly. 

Regarding the crankcase breather, there is no catch tank, the tubing added was too long and worked up through inlet manifold and so had a pinch on it, the filter was heavily gunked up so on test run was spitting out, I have re done the pipe so it's free and a new filter on, there is a steady stream of murky 'smoke' oil vapour coming from it, is that normal, potentially from having been nipped up and sat still for years it could take a while to clear better, or is that normal?

Well a bit of time over the Christmas break and weather has hampered my work so have been able to crack on with the spraying.. (lots of learning... But before you see I'll let you know that I was qted £2500k for a good enough spray job so I thought I'd take it on myself first and see)

Managed to get most imperfections out, wings are another matter which I'm undecided on yet. 

 

Then started on the priming

Happy with how this came out, it's not going to be a show winner but I'd rather £2k in my back pocket for other bits

Then mastering 10 years of practice put into 2 days I went for the body work

[nelmo]

That looks awesome, well worth saving £2K for

Started offering up interior bits and all my re sprayed parts

[Norfolk chris]

Very happy with reconditioning parts, what's the best material or adhesive/sealant for the underneath of screen? 

[Norfolk chris]

Nightmare to get this right when spraying but hopefully worth the effort to get the colour scheme I want with small details

Have made headway on the interior over the last 3 weeks, using diamond stitch, Mulliner coachworks !!

Just no time and house move imminent I've decided to re cover and change switches to smarten up dash u till I have more time 

[Norfolk chris]

Offered up new wheels, need a bigger spacer for sure to clear suspension, now waiting for graphics to come and started fitting parts back on, hopefully 2 more weeks to complete and the I'll be sitting in it ready till restrictions lift 

[Norfolk chris]

A long break due to house move and running my business with projects where I’ve pretty much lived away for the last year I’ve now finally got back into it

[Norfolk chris]

Graphics going on, just a bit more fettling needed
