keeps things moving and not sticking and seizing up, the amount of cars that only do a couple of miles to work then breakdown first really long run they do.

Short runs are what kills older cars. A good beating down the A1 is what they need. Gives everything a chance to get nice and warm. Plus burns of any soot and coke deposits that have been building up.

I agree she needs to be driven but it boils down to time working 6 days and sleeping on Sunday don't leave much time for a weekend car. So leaves me 3 options sell, leave to rot or use for work. I would use for work but need to change insurance and suffer trippling my fuel bills. After Christmas down to sensible hours so have weekends back to enjoy her again. Maybe I just need to take for a blast and realise why I bought her in the first place.

Not huge jobs, but a pain never the less

Today was a reasonably productive day!
Measured preload and fitted shims on the V8, preload is now 0.040", smack bang between the required 0.020" -> 0.060".
Fitted new vacuum hose from servo to inlet manifold (still waiting on that).
Fitted new fuel pump into tank and sorted out some fuel lines, got one more to replace before clipping it all into place.
Hopefully can get the boot floor supports in tomorrow then the boot floor can go back down! Then the interior goes back in! Can't wait!

Fitted rear stainless section exhaust (2nd hand) wasnt looking forward to the job, but it was very staighforward and not noisy well pleased.
