Currently trying to decide whether I should re-do the oil cooler mounts so they’re further back. Can’t decide whether it’d be better to duct each separately or do one duct for both...
Still, progress :) I guess bonnet mounts next...

Are we taking bets if 2017 will see the car moving under its own power?

That is an interesting bet ;) the plan is March next year running and driving on the road for the Europpomeet in Wales. Seems realistic from where I’m sitting, but I’m sure it’ll creep up fast.
Since this I’ve clearanced the fuel injection metering pump and nearly done welding up the two little rust patches on the rear deck I’ve found. Then it’s bonnet mounts which might be a tad tricky given I’ve lopped the old hinges off, some clearancing around the gearbox mount for the angle drive, finish welding the strut tower braces, battery strap and better captive nut plates for the seats.
Then maybe welding done? Lord knows but it’s getting there :)
