The fun starts here - anyone know this car?

Again, been a while! 
 

Today was a big big day….despite only running on 3 (issue is plug lead), we have a running car! 
 

This is a big moment! First time it’s run since the day we bought it.

Time for another update - although not quite as positive as I hoped.

Fired up again yesterday and now running nicely on 4 cylinders. However there are some problems!

Couple of fairly significant oil leaks, hoping it’s just from the old rocker cover gasket (new one to be fitted when I paint the cover). A coolant leak which is hopefully the lower hose. An alternator that’s not charging - probably needs new as it was damp stored for years before I got it so could well be past saving. Coolant switch didn’t seem to work - need to remove it and test it with some boiling water as it’s brand new.

Finally the rev counter didn’t work (assuming it’s wired correctly) is there a way to test whether it’s the rev counter that’s at fault?

Bit of cosmetic work today!
