And the heater radiator

They certainly test your patience but keep hanging in and you’ll get there. Your manual for brakes will be same as my series with twin leading 11” front brakes apart from the apportioning valve The pic below describes the adjuster backing off and clamping procedure , with them backed off the...

Well done so pleased for you getting it sorted, perseverance paid off, that should last a long long time A lesson for all to use genuine parts particularly in gearbox

Have you read the 101 workshop manual , just had a flick through link above mentions same as s3 brakes but with the addition of the apportioning valve to ensure rears don’t lock up Are you bleeding with all a djusters backed off, also have you tried clamping all brake flexis to get a solid...

Is the charge light lead connected to alternator

Brown onto inlet manifold looks weird they’re normally live so that would be a direct short Wait a bit are all s2 positive earth

That’s the one under passenger seat I fill directly into tank but assumed they all had drain plugs

Once separated from the cradle, I filed holes with fuel tank epoxy then a layer of fibreglass on the base , but you could do all over with a clear coat of epoxy

That’s sounds a bit more than workshop manual spec of 0.15-0.27mm measured on the crown wheel

As tottot says make a level platform some 8x4 ply would help, but how far to get it to workshop To strip properly and over what ground engine crane not good at distances unless ground smooth and level, the block itself manageable by two carrying it but not walking far , maybe an option to strip...

Looks good how much was yours

Sep 21 from Blanchards it was a Denso good quality

Back to your original question wasit worth $4700 ,bidding with 50mins to go is $8000 Looks very good, but compare to one in A1 condition over there to see what they could fetch. If it drives it could be roadworthy for little cost and then a rolling restoration if you want to . But most of that...
