Recently I have been following the Peking to Paris rally. There is a local car in it (041) and I think is is good to support our neighbors. The address is http://www.pekingparis.com/ and the local car is http://flora2010.blogspot.com/. I have had fun watching the progress and reading the blog entries of several entrants. Unit 028 has been replaced with a Healey since the original car was damaged, and they are just continuing with their friends even though they are out of the rally. Vewy interesting.

Any way on to my car. I have been busy finishing up small tasks that no one would notice even if I had a picture to show. Little things like the rear transmission mount, tightening bolts and screws, I also rebuilt the distributor, I ordered a new capacitor for it and it came in 4 pieces not quite what I expected, however a quick call to Moss and a chat with a delightful person a new one is on its way, great company to deal with.

I have bent a new heater core supply pipe from some soft copper pipe, not perfect but passable, I have also made a new fuel line between carbs much nicer than the original one. I have also installed the radiator and hoses. The dash went in last weekend and the control escutcheon are now in as well. Other small things include connecting the fresh air control cable the heater control cable and the heat control are done also. Misc oiling and greasing is also complete.
