Five, four, three......

So with the carburettors back where they belong it was time to actually start the austin for the first time in two years.
This of course meant purchasing a new battery, the last one having expired not long after i parked it in the workshop, so when i finally got paid i whizzed off down to the battery shop and picked up a new one... voila.




I then needed to think about introducing 'go go' juice to the newly refurbished carburettors, took a bit of a struggle to get the fuel pipe back under the car, but a few carefully chosen swear words soon found it complying with the pushes of my spaghetti arms. I didn't want to start filling the pertrol tank as i'm going to be welding again soon so i would only have to drain it all out again, so as the electric fuel pump is in the boot i needed a suitable container. Luckily being a bit of a Womble i had recently found a metal drink bottle while out with the girls which fitted the bill perfectly. It just needed two holes in the cap, one for the fuel pipe and on to let air in.
