Not a full restoration, just a tidy up of this 76 350, that was orginally Dutch. Still need a few bits, but a bit of time over the weekend helps the progress!!
Brian.

New cables from NLM, some fuel, and away it ran. Sounds quite loud though, not that it bothers me at all!!!!
Every thing works, now. I wired up the rev counter as the wiring guide showed, but it didn't work. There is a stud on the back that had nothing on it, but there was an earth through the lamp!! My wife came to look, she said 'put an earth wire on that', so i did, hmmm, it worked!!!
Still need to register it, and now it is running I wish i had done it 1 month ago!!
Now i need to save up for a new seat, the current one is OK for now. Plus new tyres, then get some miles in.

The front half's looking great Brian. If you resize the photo to 640 x 480 you'll fit the whole picture in.
Regards, Mark.

No transformation, just an indecision on colour
Here is the other side, ha ha
