Back to it after over a month away as our house has been full of visitors. I've been painting engine parts in the spare moments, and just reassembled intake manifold last week. Junk motor at least looks good now!

Did some more planning around the fuel system, which led to needing a fuel pump & regulator decision. I decided in the end to stick with the mechanical fuel pump (that I'd previously removed and blanked off), so I cleaned that up, painted it and put it back on the engine. I had a mini starter lying around from long ago, so fitted and shimmed that. Still works great - probably 20 years old. I mocked up the engine mounts and measured in the engine bay.. seems that the fuel pump fits there, so I hope for no surprises.
So now I know where the fuel line will end up (no need for a regulator) I'll get those in next weekend.
While I was waiting for paint to dry I installed the fuse panel and laid out the wiring harness with tie-wraps to see where it all goes.
