After what feels like years, I finally got Sandy up and running again. Turns out there is a bracket on the back of the fuel pump which wasn't installed. Got one to put on and boy did that suck. But it repositioned the FIP where she runs good. Floating at about 60% modulation with 4 degrees advanced timing. Pump is still showing a bit lean at 10mg/s but I'll fine tune that later. Defo needs to do something about the brakes now though, feels like I have zero boost so I can only assume the pump and/or accumulator have packed in from being sat idle for so long. But these are things I can slowly work through, she is running again!

I've been driving the MiL's Kia for so long I actually forgot how much road presence you get from the old girl. I've missed it. She needs a good clean now though.

Thought about taking her on a road trip to pick up a long term donor. Sadly, it's not worth the trip. If even the interior had been the right colour I may have been more inclined.
