Fitted some of the fuel pipes today just need a couple of series supply pipes for fittings to make a new supply pipe and a return pipe, then I moved onto fitting the front shocks fitted one then found the N/S/F spring plate was the wrong plate for the car as the shocker was close to the swivel flange, think its from a S1 so I need to buy the correct one now :(

Nope! Restoring old vehicles ain't cheap! Worth it, though!
