Restoration (2) White 1972 1600 XL [29]

Did a couple of finishing off things to the car today.
Firstly, a bit of retuning. The timing was retarded a couple of degrees & it is now running at about 10 degrees before TDC & sounds pretty good. Also the carbie mixture screw was slightly adjusted. It is now sounding as it should..
Secondly, I drilled out a couple of paint blisters or small rust spots on the RH rear guard. It is 11 years since the repaint & these were the first little areas of concern. I thought there would be a lot more rust behind them but not so. I bit of filler & a couple of coats of Winter White & the area looks pretty good. I just need to give it fine sand & then buff it up & that is another little job done.
