On one of the warmest days of the year, I completed fitting the FBH to marmite.🤔
I already had fitted the fuel pump some months ago.
Now that it’s all up and running, I have to take it out to reroute the plumbing.🙄
Probably don’t really have to do it, but the inlet pipe runs to the left of the battery box, instead of under and to the right hand side.
Probably as easy to remove the battery box instead of splitting the pipe work and rerouting.

As it was a warm day I sprayed my sills full of wax and watched it drip out of the drain holes , very satisfying

Hi Dawn
What would look good would be stainless grid in the two outer ducts, and a spoiler under the front bumper

She looks well Dave! ☺ I am very happy with my final choice.

Hopefully see you at the Nano!

I wouldn't mind the mesh on those bumper parts Steve but I wouldnt know where to start. I am not bothered about a splitter - they do look nice but I'd probably end up knocking it off on a curb!

Managed to get the dried out freshly shampooed carpet back in today, I must say it does smell nicer in there now. Managed to de rust and get a coat of kurust onto the bonnet pins too.

She does! Glad you convinced me they were the right wheel Getting there now. I have the old centres on but decided to keep the silver sparkle finish too, so am awaiting delivery of a new set from A E Wilcox.

Only big thing now is the bumper lacquer issue. I've had a quote but want to wait until after mot time for that in case of suprises!
