We didn't get there till about 2pm as me dad was a bit late getting back from London in the morning after having a few too many the night before.

Good show though managed to get a few bits. I'm starting to put the car back together now so it should be finished in a month.

Ahh, we'd been in the bar for what seemed like about 2 hours by then...

Err, unfortunately mine is still in bits. Lack of motivation during December. But I have a list of things being modified/made/supplied by a local engineering shop, which should see the worst of the work done.

Then there will be little things left:

1) Carb Balance

2) Brake fluid change

3) Service & tappet check (car started sound a bit 'anrgy' at the end of last year)

4) Roll bar padding (really sound get some)

5) Bigger air filter (pose value...)

Here is what I've got left to do in no particular order.

Weld on some harness brackets

Fit new exhaust (wunoff very nice arrived yesterday)

Fit poly bushes + refit supension.

Bleed Brakes

Fit seats

Fit vinyl to tunnel

Fit new dash after its been anodised

Plus new wiring for dash FIA kill switch SPA speedo etc

Fit boot box cover after its been anodised

Fit extra throttle return spring

Fit ne crankcase breather

sort out lights

And i've been working most weekends since Xmas  

Bet that makes you feel better. The momentums up now so there is no stopping me.

Back in the days when xflows were current the 711m's were known as "thickwall" blocks, they were used in the later xflows and could be bored out more than the earlier "thinwall" block. Might not help you, but I just thought I'd say it anyway

To add, I didn't think the 711M block was fitted to Mk1's...

(If, of course, 711m refers to the block type...)
