Hi I live in the uk and the car has to have a Ministry of Transport Test or MoT before I can drive it legally . The weather is really wet and the car hasn't seen rain for at least 12 years .I don't want to have my first experience of driving 200 hp plus in a 1000kg car on 185 tyres in the rain......It might end in tears. Glad it sounds as you might expect.... I don't have much experience to go on.
cheers

you'll be okay. its okay to play around to get the feel of it, otherwise you never will. good luck!I definitely had a few whoaaaally shit moments playing around in the SC, but once you get a feel for the jive of the car you know a bit more about what to expect.

when the car is running.. . projects include, final adjust of clutch cable after the clutch assembly weld, toe-in align after install of turbo tie rods, check injectors, sniff for gas in the engine bay and check both warm and cold fuel idle, check all lights/fuses/grounds that I didn't bump anything off.

Removed original standard front bumper (tangerine) and fitted factory steel S chin spoiler (sepia brown). Now it's time to learn how to spray paint.

I've been hoarding this for years, finally put a NOS leather boot in on the '65.

Drove my car with Solexes installed for the first time!
Some words of wisdom to those aspiring to do the same: don't expect it to be easy - these carbs are a world apart from Webers. Solexes are a complicated system and getting them sorted, even after being rebuilt is not for the squeamish. This install took three years and more $$$ than I'd possibly imagined to make happen! Here they are:
