Slowly getting there

2R cleaned up, some new gaskets and reinstalled.
Not quite accurate decal, but I like it.

The previous post indicated I may be driving soon, which didn't end up being the case, just yet. No real reason apart from some real life getting in the way again.


But today I fired up the Corona tonight for the first time in around 3 or 4 years! Started really easily, I guess all the hand cranking I did the other week helped prime everything.

The carby still has a few problems, I put some new gaskets in it, and it'll run and idle fine for about a minute and then starts surging before it dies. Not sure why at this stage, but I'll work it out.

Reconditioned master cylinder, it's nice to have pressure behind the pedal again. With that in, every brake component is brand new except the distribution block, some of the steel lines and the front shoes.

All wiring is spot on, lights all work perfectly, warning lights, original radio works which was a plus.

Carpet still to go, the passenger seat needs a very small repair, and then I think it's time for rego.
