Agnetha is still in Zgierz and will have some kind of survey done on her for the historic vehicle registry – more on that later. Meanwhile the garage has been reorganised so there’s space to both store and work on her out of the weather. The garage is dry and centrally heated, so it should make it a lot easier keeping the rust under control. It should also be quite a cosy place for engine fettling during the winter!
To get better photos for this blog I’ve dusted off the auld Canon 450D that’s been in a cupboard for several years. The batteries have swelled up in a threatening way so there are some new ones on order. Then we can press this baby into action.
Speaking of ordering things, I’m hitting up the Paczkomat pretty hard next week. I’m curious to see if the engine will actually go. It’s clear from the first look at Agnetha that she needs a whole new ignition system and some minor surgery to remove a snapped plug. So, currently on order we have:
- AccuSpark 25D4 electronic distributor
- AccuSpark red coil
- AccuSpark timing gun
- AccuSpark spark tester
- 4x NGK BP6ES spark plugs
- NGK 0543 8mm HT lead set
- 2x Gates 6212MC fan belt
- Mahle OC21OF oil filter
- Mar-Pol M55885 spark plug extraction kit
- Yato YT7223 feeler gauge
- Generic Chinese spark plug gap coin
Oh, and I also went to an actual physical shop and bought a battery. All we need now is the car!
