Long list - major part was sourcing and fitting the fuel tank, tried three times to do the internal reseal thing 
The new tank was £500 all on it's own ..... not including labour or the efforts to have the existing one repaired. The penny pincher in me is still upset at losing £50 worth of fuel
Things to do:
Oh the other things on the to do list - some medium length 50ish mile trips to tempt out the next round of things that will need attention
2 potential weddings - not as the driven wedding car, but as the photo car that sits in the nice bit of the car park. No hassle with insurance doing that and a few hundred notes into the bargain

- New fuel tank and in tank filter
- New fuel pipes
- New main pipe fuel filter
- Removed carbs, clean both, new needles and seats
- Replaced carb filters
- Replaced rear suspension spheres
- Replaced rear brake pump seals
- Trace and resolve a/c fault
- New compressor fuse and assorted parts of wiring for a/c
- Sparks removed and cleaned after check for dirty fuel from duff tank
- New air intake (scuttle) filters, old ones were non existent, had rotted away - I didn't even know they were missing as there was nothing left!

Things to do:
- new wiring required in n/s front door for electric window motor.
- o/s rear central locking fault - solenoid needed
- parking brake service needed, calipers are partially seized - have been greased but need to just keep an eye on it
- front discs have lip on edge
pads are at about 50%, saving pennies
- o/s front suspension mount, this one, http://www.flyingspares.com/shop/rol...m-ur72000.html showing signs on separation
- front brake pump seals seeping very slightly, much easier access to this pump than the one already done that is under the carbs, hence why it was done
- intermittent balance in audio faders, both front/rear and left/right - may result in a stealth install of an amp to the original speakers with a Bluetooth module
- front wheel check balance weights, I think she's lost a small weight - worst case the tyres have deformed when not in use in the barn
- investigate all door switches for interior lights - sometimes works, sometimes not, hoping a clean of the switches (when I find them) resolve this one
