Should a '73 Sprint have a mirror on the driver's door, if so chrome or black? Should the inner wheel arches (behind the suspension) be body colour or black?
No door mirror.
Body colour.

"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.
