It's alive!

I have enjoyed watching the XM vlog videos on YouTube. Would a manual 'box conversion be doable?

I don't think this car is going to be a 'keeper' so I won't bother with manual conversion as it's still a long winded process to carry out and I don't fancy working on it again over the coming winter months.

Still got loads of video to upload about the work on the car but just haven't had time to edit and upload. (thanks for watching, by the way)
Got a couple more things to check such as governor seals and valve block and depending on what I find, I'll then make a decision on next stage. Gearbox isn't slipping so in theory it means clutch packs etc should be good. Governor seals are the easiest things to check first so I'll do that and if they're ok then I'll pull the valve block and check for broken springs or dirt preventing a valve from shutting fully.
