Re: Project BFR (1973 Mimosa Sprint)
"No door mirror" That's a shame as I have a brand new chrome pair that I bought off Calum. Ah! well, they can go on the "Brooklands" Sprint...
I got round to flushing the petrol tank through last night. The fuel that came out was very smelly (not the usual petrol smell) & turned a dark browny colour towards the end. I half filled the tank with water & gave it a good slosh round, then I noticed that nothing was coming out of the fuel take-off pipe hole, which is a bit worrying. I left some plus-gas in the hole over night, hopefully that will help to clear it.

Sprayer has just phoned to say the compressor is not working. Got guys looking at it at the mo so it may not be done until tomorrow or Monday. At least he keeps me informed.
