I’ve thoroughly cleaned the s/h wheelarch spats. they’re the matt black type that have gone “glittery” with age. This is my favourite type. Theyre all in good condition, except for some surface scuffs which may come out with “Back to Black” or Autoglym plastic colour restorer. I was hoping to fit the front lights after […]

I went to the chandlers at the local marina, but being […]

I also adjusted the steering box, so there’s no play anywhere in the steering system. I then modified the new heated fuel filter housing so that the injector leak-off pipe would connect to […]
Clutch/Intake/Side Steps
