Good idea! I have not heard of that approach! The carb cooling fan is funny. It sounds like a hairdryer and cools the carb down a little but usually after its got too hot in my experience. Usually when you switch engine off for a few mins and try and restart like after buying petrol...
The car's been an absolute blast. Went to the NEC on Saturday for the practical classics and it never missed a beat. Overtaking on the motorway now a very easy task ;-)
Very good oil pressure too now that I have a working gauge, 60 psi when warm :-D
Looks brilliant! Ther colour works really well with the gold wheels and suits the interior. Paint looks really good too. All that time and effort have paid off!
Only thing I would add is some lower sports springs ☺
I know what you mean, but the car wouldn't be on the road if it wasn't for Guy and his shocks so I'll keep them for the time being I think - very classic!
