I went and picked up a few bits from Keron this week. Got some oil filters, coolant and oil from Mr T too. Fitted the exhaust this evening. Flushed the oil and drained the coolant. I put on a new filter and some fresh oil in, filled up the coolant and tried to start her. The battery was heavily perished so I put a new one on. Turned the key and she fired right up. Idled nicely at 2k at first and then down to 1500. It soon dropped to around 750 after a few minutes. I must say it sounds fantastic. I was really surprised how well it ran saying she had been standing for over a year.
No leaks or dodgy sounds coming from the engine. Nothing which struck me as unusual, just a sweet purring engine which sounded like it'd been ran everyday. I'm going to flush all the fluids again and change the filters. I'll be getting the door glass in and wings on this weeked. Then I think it'll be a strip down, then prep for the respray. Stuck between a blue or a grey. RSP or Grigio Avlon!
