Default Just breathed life into my 81

This very morning my 81 lives.............fired it up and ran first time, just a stock rebuild, but runs sweet as a nut. just a million vacuum lines etc to figure out. must have got most right coz it seems to run ok. will get a few miles on her then start the fine tuning.
went to try to move her, 4 speed car, and the cross shaft pivot on the chassis rail is naffed. pulled it off and had a gazillion repairs before, so may try to fix properly this time, or i guess renew.

thats all to report, but pretty happy with it so i thought i would share it. :D
