A few small updates.
I was not happy with the headlights that had been restored so after a number of months, I managed to get a couple of NOS ones.
And now fitted to the grille
The carby is now on properly and most connections have been done, a pic of underneath from the transmission
And a few bits that have been bought/reconditioned
Radiator
Radiator shrouds (one for the P6 LTD as well), before and after cleaning
Exhaust system, still need to chase up the collector pipes
We all love NOS
Note to self, always put choke tubes on before installing engine. This is turning out to be a crap job getting these on now
Lucky score here - long range tank NOS fuel sender
Air conditioning parts
New compressor
Drier/Receiver
Tx valve
I am currently working on buying all new hoses (plus fittings). The condensor is also being cleaned and pressure tested. Once done, it can go back in along with the radiator, shroud and grille.
I have also stripped a few AC compressors so as to get all of the drive pulleys zinced
I have asked the question here pertaining to
"silver or gold" drive pulleys" I think it is a case of silver, not gold
I have tried cleaning up some washer bottles with mixed success
Before
After
They are clean inside but they are quite yellow on the outside. Will try a few tips from this thread
Cleaning washer bottles
Hopefully I can get rid of the yellow staining.
And a few pics of the engine as it stands now
