OK guys, this project after sitting nowhere for 15 months, is finally now going somewhere.
It's at the shop and the exciting rebuild has begun.
We have decided to build it back exactly to stock.
Have removed the manifold from the spare motor and fitted to the existing motor in the car.
The A12A engine has been started and is in excellent condition. Fuel tank now reconditioned, radiator is at re conditioners now, fuel system currently being rebuilt.
Thermostat housing was RS, as was the entire brake system (except, ironically, the shoes - which are OK).
Have replaced all brake cylinders and master cylinder but having a bit of trouble getting the system bled out.
(it's the standard dual leading drums on the front)
Anyone out there got a few clues / short cuts for bleeding standard Datto brakes?
