Restoration (2) White 1972 1600 XL [27]

I have taken the car for a number of short runs & it is performing fairly well but I think the timing is still out a fraction & that needs a bit of fiddling. It is running warm in the middle of the temp gauge but that is not bad but perhaps I would prefer it running a bit cooler. The best thing is that there are no leaks – well so far that I can see. I have done a costing for this little project & as usual, I am a bit surprised as to how much it all costs. While there is nothing major all the little bits add up. Here is a summary of costs. These are retail prices but I usually get some form of discount from Autobarn. Note that the two most expensive items (electronic distributor & fuel pump) were a result of my little accident but I am pleased that both were replaced.
