Evaluation time ... can I get it ready in time for a wee run to Edinburgh

It seems the fuel leak is not as bad as first feared so 2 days later and Bub has not expired in an orange fireball, I can start finding out what needs doing.

I'm hoping to get along to Rust2Rome Romania leaving day but the car has to be safe so here is a list of things that must be addressed before going on the road ... in no particular order

• seatbelts - they're not really fit for purpose so new ones are on order and will be fitted straight away. The body really doesn't feel strong enough to cope with them but I will be fitting a roll cage so that won't matter in the long term.



Well, that will work well in a crash!



Not sure how that's meant to work at all!

 
• lights
• indicators work but the hazards don't (might buy a new relay)
• right hand tail/headlights don't work
• brake lights aren't exactly reliable
• engine tune up


• it starts brilliantly and revs cleanly enough now I've fettled it but the timing needs doing properly, oil checked and the radiator topped up
• fit new radiator, looks like its missing
• stop making jokes about radiators on an air cooled engine
• they are funny though
• brakes

• they feel like they work reasonably well, I had assumed drums all round but it seems there are discs at the front, stops in a straight line but probably could do with an adjustment
• windscreen wipers
• not working at all, not a sausage, no idea why not
• maybe no relay so I'll buy one of them as well
• time to get the multimeter out
