I've been a very busy man the last few months with a lot of things to deal with so preparations for 3ma09 have been limited to none. And having recently acquired the Trevi I couldn't resist tinkering with it while I should really be getting the 131 ready for the long drive to Turin and back. But with just over a week to go before I have to set off for the early morning ferry to the Continent, I thought I'd better start getting ready by fitting some of the new parts I bought for the 131.
New HT leads were not really needed for the 131 but the Trevi could do with new ones. So I bought new ones for the 131 and the Trevi is getting "hand me downs" from the 131?
I must say though that by just changing the HT leads the 131 is running noticeably better (Kevin, you were thinking of buying these and now I can recommend them). Maybe I'll buy another new set for the Trevi.
The new radiator and expansion bottle (thank you Yagmur) arrived a few days ago so they were also fitted today.
It's a 3-core radiator so should be well up to the job of keeping everything cool in the Italian heat.?
Fresh Mobil-1 15W-50 Motorsport oil and new filter completed today's jobs. I would have done a lot more if it wasn't for a guy called Mike driving past who stopped for a chat and to see the car. You know the story
"I used to have one of these!.... It was my first car!.... Can you still get parts for them?... Mine rusted away years ago!... You are driving all the way to Italy in this? ...." ?
