Hi all,
found this yesterday =
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058458/
and why am I then exited about an old French movie I hear you think.
Well here is the answer =

After a visit to the previus owner, to pickup the V5, and a few missing parts, I wanted the car "fully operational" again.
That meant fitting a working fuel pump, so we could drive it.
Found these 2 in my box of bits =
After a little fettling, and mix of parts I got this =
Next day Kristian came for a visit, so we could go for a drive, but I couldnt get the pump to work (when fitted on car)
Tried all kind of tricks, incl connecting it directly to the battery charger, but nothing worked ???????????
After a while we gave up, and went home. After i got home it struck me = no fuel came out of the tank to pump hose ?
Next day I put the airgun into the hose, and found out the tank was blocked.
Fitted another tank, and we were "fully operational" . Kristian came up, and drove her out of the garage.
I then poured some special engine / oil cleaner into the oil, before we took her for a little spin.
After we got back, we changed the oil & filter, this encreased the oil pressure .

Hi all,
Here is the solution on how to fasten the lower RH hinge, before our test drive 
=
Later that same week l had a call from the prevuis owner, he was coming to a hotel near me, a few days later, so i did some more cleaning =
After a few hours with paint remover, the original Fiesta Yellow emerged =
Also applied some to the door card =
Here is what was underneath =
Not perfect, but wont use any more of that paint stripper = too hard on the vinyl, so will try with some Brown soap.
On Friday afternoon I drove down to meet the previus owner.
He got the wife,s permission, that he could "come out to play" for 2 hours, so I took him to the workshop.
He was pleased to see the work I had done on the car, and after a little tour around it, he opened and sat inside the car.
I had managed to fit the battery cable unnoticed, so after he had pushed the horn, I said "turn the key" he looked at me, as to say "do you mean it" ?
That moment was well worth all the hard work, his eyes & whole face started smiling, when she started.
Yesterday was also a "Super" good day 
First we went to Copenhagen & picked up these =
Then we drove to Roskilde to see Big Mac drive a 12 cyl Ferrari F1 through the the inner city of his hometown Roskilde 
And not just some slow demo either 
no it was "peddle to the metal" when Roskilde was hosting Racing festival 2014.
This is a event to collect money for the international red cross.
You pay to go for a ride in a super sports car, or proffesional race car, with these guys = http://racing-festival.dk/
