Quick update...
Its been through the car wash so its clean! Ive done some pikey lacquer resprays where the lacquer was peeling to try and seal it up to stop it going back any further.
I lost one of the balancing screws from the throttlebodies which mean i was losing fuel air mix on cylinder 4 and as such I got 200 miles to a full tank of fuel! I met up with Niall at Ace who fitted a bolt in the hole to seal it up and since then its idled better and MPG has returned.

I have now reordered the balancing screw and the balancing tool from Jenvey at vast expense! Should be interesting to see if balancing actually makes a difference.
I havent really got any free time before Pugfest but ideally I would like to get some of the BakerBM bits on the car and respray the mirrors, wiper arms and scuttle panel. Maybe Ill strip the rear out a bit more. One thing I definitely plan to do is make my stripped rear seat upper sections. Ill give that a go later.
