That's great stuff, who cares how long it takes, we all have other things to do as well, your making good progress so that's all that counts. Out of interest what have you done to your brakes? Did you change the M/Cylinder as these don't seem to take to well to sitting around for long periods.
With regards to wanting the 'pea shooter' exhaust tips it may be worth putting a wanted ad for a back box, lots of people have changed them out to performance exhausts so there's got to be a few kicking around!

I have a totally standard backbox, it's not in the best condition but is serviceable. If it is of help please PM me.

However I am more than happy with what has been achieved. I've been very fortunate not only to have made a good friend but also fall in with Thomas McAuley a local Belfast owner who has got me as far as I have without him 1780 wouldnt be at this stage and the holes in my pockets would be slighy bigger than they already are if I had left it in with a mechanic.
Did you not get my bill in the post Davy?

The master cylinder was changed for a brand new unit, the discs and pads are what came with the car. I took them to a mechanic for inspectionand he said they were fine so I kept them on. New front/rear pads arrived from Ed Uding last night so they will be fitted along with another bleeding session and hopefully that cures the problem Chris.
Regards the peashooters, I have ordered some tailpipes to put on my backbox if they dont fit or dont look right I might be in touch Tony

Still sifting through last weeks delivery of valentine cards Thomas, must be in amongst that lot
My CPR valve has also arrived so I might get it fitted this weekend and if ladyluck shines on me thats the engine nearly there, got a couple of idle control bearings to fit and some new handbrake pads as well. The light at the end of the tunnel is starting to get a lot brighter as we finish phase one of 1780's resurrection.
