It Lives It moves It Stops
Discussion
Had a very sucessful weekend. Managed to spend some of saturday afternoon and most of sunday playing with the car. Got the rear dummy tank fitted and bled the clutch and brakes.
Much to my surprise the clutch worked after some of the things I have found with this car I expected it to be siezed on but it wasn't so we were able to drive it out of the garage and stop on the drive.
Got no seats at the mo so I was sat on a couple of blocks of wood but it worked
Even managed to get the management involved. She was sat in the drivers seat pumping the pedals as I operated the spanner.
So Things are progressing and I think I'm in the lead to NOT get one of Den's jumpers

Andy, that sentence is not allowed, unless accompanied by a picture! There's a part picture of Andy's actual Spartan in the recent article he wrote for Madabout.

Well there's good news and bad bed news.
The bad news is I can't get reverse and my mechanic friend (plus one or two others) have said the gearbox has got to come out.
The good news is the engine doesn't have to come out to get the gearbox out.
Oh well looks like I know what I'm going to be doing with my weekend

Well, I was provoked 
I've not got it home yet, those pics are from the previous owner. Probably pick it up next month sometime and then I can start building again
This time I'm restricting myself to what needs doing for mot (wiring, brakes, interior, lights etc etc!)
Bad news Andy, I hope you manage to get it sorted easily and cheaply! sorry for the hijack of your thread

More good news. got the gearbox sorted over the weekend just got to put it back in the car now.
The best news
is that it didn't cost anything to fix. The reverse selector punger was seized so it was just a case of removing it cleaning and greasing it and putting it all back together.
