Thanks guys, its a bit forgotten about over winter living in Dads garage, nice to have it out again for the sunny, dry days...
Had a bit of a problem with one of the front brake calipers sticking on from time to time so bit the bullet and did the lot, calipers, rear cylinders, hoses, disks and drums (kept the old stuff) It never ceases to amaze me, for a 41 year old car I found a paper part tag still on the clutch cable and more paint smears on the calipers and drums, yellow for TD 6cyl general production. Had some spare paint laying about so I've put the smears back on for the hell of it. Also got a pic of the tailshaft and yoke while I was under there...
Cheers Drew

With the weather starting to get better I though I better dig this one out of storage for a once over before cruising season starts.
Happy Birthday too, she's 50 this year.
 

 

 
The last time it was out was Easter but like clockwork, with the choke out it fired up on the first try and settled down to idle straight away.
This thing always puts a smile on my face, the smell, the sound, the way it effortlessly glides down the road. That and the smiles and waves it gets.
Looking forward to putting a few more km's on it over the next few months.

Cheers guys, yes not many left like anymore unless they've got a V8 stuffed into them. The rest of them either rusted or went to speedway racing.
 
You're right Deano, it does look alot brighter, I'd say it's more the quality of the camera than my detailing regime though
