Re: car will not start
That little Bosch module in the pic is quite possible where your problem lies. It's the electric ignition module and apart from mice eating the wires, the damp can kill them off also.

Re: car will not start
yeah, now i could it cleaned up and start working on it just to get it on road, perhaps use it a bit then rebuild once the Cosworth is sold.
