5Bought it last week as a non runner

However last Sat night Andy Mac and myself started to put it back together.

It ,at the moment is not a thing of beauty"Dalsy quote" lo

However when ive finished i will be all good!!!

First fault found,
Car only running on three cylinders.

Changed lead,even though it had a spark,changed plug still no right,then lastly swopped over injector and found the green injector to be a fault.

Got a green from Duf a new member on here and there its now running.

Car is being stripped out tommorow,and going fpor a bit of welding this week.

All new brakes,tbelt full service kit,r888s and new ss zorst soon.

Thanx so far to Andy for waving his wand over the tired old car :lol:
