Capri - Restoration (2) White 1972 1600 XL [18]

A bit more sorting out of things was necessary before I think we are finally ready to put the engine back in.  Some more items needed painting so that was one thing to complete. I also sorted out all the hoses to see which could be reused & what replacements were needed. The old heater hose was an interesting combination & I am trying to get that simplified with a single T joiner. Then I located all my old carbie kits & gave the Weber a good cleaning. I also took the top off (I had a spare new gasket) and blew all the jets clean. After a bit of internal cleaning, it was re- assembled and then sprayed with a coat of VHT sliver. A few other bits also had some re- coating completed. I think that is about it & now all is ready to put it all together.
