Have not changed the outside except for a few more air holes in front grille area and fitted Street lights back and front larger fuel tank, Tuck and Roll Sunroof insert,Rewired( new loom)Attachment 23504Attachment 23505 so ready i hope for road use as well. Still a bit more to do but getting there for 2014, Regards Steve

Looking good Steve, will be good to see this legendary car run again!

Thanks steve w. i will be pleased when its running too!!!. just sorting fuel lines today from bulkhead to carb bloody cold out there. and then finish off tapping out Head stud threads in block as the first time they have ended up all different hights when nuts/washers on.
Feel i should have started a BOSTON BRAWLER thread seemed to have taken over on this one .Sorry. Regards Steve (getting excited)

Been told to use 9/16 unc tap plug, did not realize there still would be rusty **** down there, as mate pointed out the old head bolts fall short of threaded holes in block and studs go to the bottom. Learning curve all this for me as not an engine builder but keen to learn. thanks for advise. Steve

Steve a plug tap will still cut threads, better to use a thread chaser in my opinion. Stud kits should just thread in to the block, don't tighten right down.
