Even just taking it around the yard was enough to remember how lovely and agile it felt .
Really looking forward to using this a bit .
Next job is to take all the coolant hoses off and clean up the stubs where they fit as they are getting furry and give the system a good flush . Dad always kept good anti freeze in it so hopefully not too many horrors . I know there is at least one coolant pipe that has been β dadded β which needs to be replaced . Unfortunately itβs a pre moulded shape and different sizes at each end . Iβve been stock piling random coolant hoses for a while so hopefully I can sort something out .
Itβs starting on the button lovely now so thatβs a moral boost in any project .
All the electrics inc radio still work fine too .
This MOT will be its last one too as it turns 40 next year.
That will be my second β freeβ vehicle on the fleet after the KE175 . ( family has owned it almost as long )
