just a quick update, due to a very heavy winter work on the car became a stand still, however today the car was finally removed out the garage on a flat deck truck ,
the next day work began to see if the engine will run, timing was out 10 degrees, but other than that by passed the main fuel by using a boat tank & hey presto the engine roared into life after sitting more than 20 yrs,, the main fuel was removed to be sand blasted & cleaned inside , all 4 wheels removed , freed & greased, so the car is able to roll on it own accord,just awaiting on fuel tank to returned & then go from there,
I,ve added new pictures & will try to upload a small videi of the engine running at a later date
