Changed the injectors so I could test the power steering and alternator charge properly - great news - it all works as it should!

Next stop - radiator hoses and thermofan!

Then I have to sort out power to this garage so I can do some more welding related jobs - primarily seat rails (both driver and passenger side), clutch pedal throw stop and retainer spring mounts, and driveshaft center bearing mounts.

More of the cooling sorted.

I am 90% certain I'm going to re-do the radiator support with a proper frame.

Quite some updates recently, and looks like a rigid structure, for the front shock towers, or?

To replace the radiator support. Because I've cut most of the original metal away and what's left keeps getting in my way.

I think I will make one for the shock towers as well though. Can't hurt.

I'm not sure if I've still got all the bits for a flip front. How do people find actually working on the flip front cars? It's always seemed (to me) like it would be difficult to get around things like belts with the flip front.
