The car does look great in the photo's but is certainly not perfect more a day off or get the cobwebs out driver and I am going to get my CAMS racing licence and do some track day/ hillclimb time. I have put about 1000 miles on her in the two months since importing her to Australia and am trying to go through her methodically to bring her up to full working order. My short list so far, rear bearing whine, unoperable temperature gauge, slow drivers window, automatic heating system incomplete & not working (floor lever only at the moment), no pop off valve, missing engine insulation, some small oil leaks onto headers and another leak on the connection below the trombone cooler thermostat, heavily glued on front compartment carpet, had to register car as a two seater until I source 3 point rear seat belts and child restraints, small paint imperfections and rust bubbles and finally but not least, untidy welding repairs between floor and body seam. I have just given her a oil and filter + air filter change to flush her out and will do the valves, fix thermostat leak, fit pop off valve, change plugs, ignition wires, cap & rotor too in the next week. She has the 5 blade fan and I am wondering if I should upgrade to an 11 blade as it gets pretty hot here in the summer, still we are just going into winter here so no rush to decide that and I still need to fix the temp gauge to see how hot she runs anyway.
