Found a mint passenger side weather seal.



Also picked up a spare fuel tank. Needs a fair amount of work to get it decent. Possibly a little summer project.

Well done all round! I am thinking my petrol tank is going to need love as I filled the tank up recently and now It smells of petrol with the cap closed!

Worth checking for rust.

2 things I get nervous about. Fuel and brakes.

Quite right too.

Got all the parts I need for the radiator / cooling system overhaul.




Lower rad bracket and thermostat from Ford EBay store.
Coolant from Ford
Some new tailgate struts.
Waxoil for the inside of the rear arches.


This is from a newer car however was going to use it to separate the fuel lines on the bulkhead. Mine are currently zip tied

Also picked up a spare tank. Which I hoped to restore however it looks pretty rough inside. Any thoughts on it?






Drivers seat needs a repair. Sooner rather than later.


Also found this for £5 on FB marketplace. Wrong colour for the Mille however thinking to use it as a wall / door guard in the garage.



If the weather stays decent I’ll crack on with the rad swap this weekend.

Few jobs ticked off.

New boot strut. The boot pops lovely now!


Rust converted wax oiled a number of areas.


However the main job was to get the LED indicators installed. Very happy with the results. They are way brighter. Next up is sidelights.

What's the rust converter like, any good?

Your doing a great job, I am slightly jealous!

 

[TomEbbs]

Yeah its pretty good stuff. Takes a few hours to really cure and leaves a primer type of coating on the area.

The Jenolite spray came top in a recent AutoExpress review, just in front of the Rustbuster and Bilt Hamber one's, the Jenolite brush on one was deemed to be nothing like as good as the spray.

I would guess because the spray you can really soak it, where as the brush tends to be a thin coat.
