Purely for the Iron Lady?
Loads of parts (though I didn't wish them )
Imperial sockets and spanners (at long last)
Otherwise nothing... No reason to, to be honest. Bit by bit will she be bought to life again
But if Father Christmas likes me, he'd use magic and make her look like new again wth engine and co all running

I need a heat shield for the high torque starter which doesn't like the hot environment of the under bonnet area mid summer. There £60 here and $20 in the states but jegs wont post uk. So I think my grandson in Texas will be sending me a gift in Feb. Might cost me £27 but wont be taxable, as a gift. Move over starbucks

I'd like to have the seats re-done. Driver's side still has the hole the previous owner's back side wore in it and the stitching in the back seats is starting to go. Passenger seat looks magnificent though! :-)
Beyond that, the oil cooler has a slow leak, the speedo transducer is temperamental, the radio and headlights share a ground problem and I suspect one of my thermostats is occasionally sticking open. Oh, and there's a mystery clunk in the front end and the wipers probably need a new motor.
Otherwise, the car has been a dream.

Rob Beere Racing has a superb all stainless steel upgrade for the oil distribution pedestal at the rear of the V and its associated feed and supply pipes. A bit dear but the next windfall and it will go into the V12 rebuild hoard of parts. Just the timing chain dampers after that, and the big question about whether to get the block machined for the modern one-piece rear crank oil seal, also offered by RBR.
Nothing wrong with the engine at all, but at some point the momentous decision about when to do it so the nippers inherit a car with a new engine!
