There has been progress with the Bluebird! In short, it runs again, holds coolant (after a bit of a leaky moment) and is ready and raring to go for an MOT, hopefully next week.
I haven’t got time to go into the details at the moment, but shall list my most recent videos for Project Bluebird below.

A lot has happened since this photo was taken…
The car arrives.
I start pulling it apart.
I start ballsing things up and generally not having a clue.
A miracle happens. Eventually.
Part Four – hopefully soon!
Thank you for words of encouragement and support during this project. It’s the first time I’ve partially-dismantled a four-cylinder engine, and it has certainly been a learning experience!
But what do I do with it once it is finished? I’ve got a Proton awaiting attention now…
