Thanks Ian 👍

However after using...
I’m still in 👍
I always thought that the 16v and williams hose set up was the same
You look well off the main road there Gabriel, this the Lakes?
Sorry to hear that you are having to sell your Williams :-(
Well I’m just waiting for my bonnet to come back from the paint shop, unfortunately it was painted today but wont be ready to fit tomorrow. Apart from that the car is ready to be MOT’d. So looks like...
Moved mine in the garage so that I could finish fitting the drivers door internals and door card. I know that doesnt count, but its all towards being able to get #180 out on a fine day in May....as...
Thanks Ian, me too 😀
Hey Ian, #180 was technically back on the road yesterday.
The engine is now running and we were putting the doors back on (a job that I hate). I needed to turn the car round so that I could get to...

Looks like you are making some good progress, best of luck with...

Its a while since I did mine but I do remember that on the long side of the belt and after rotating the engine a few times you should just be able to twist the timing belt through 90 degrees by hand....
Thanks I hope so

As it stands the interior, dash loom, engine,...
Hi Ian,

Re the images because I use an ipad compressing the images is a problem for me. Unfortunately if uploading starts to become difficult, I just can it in. I...
Good to hear that you are really getting into this resto, nice to see enthusiasm for the project.

Happy New Year to you too.
Great storage you have there 👍
Hows the restoration of 131 going Paddy.
Sounds like a big project, good luck with it, I hope that it goes well.
Assume this is a winter project and you will be ready for Spring 2018?

Thanks, its tucked away for the winter now.
Yea, handles nicely for a big car, lovely straight 6 👍
