Classic car technician Scott has been conducting an assessment of our 1976 Aston Martin AMV8.

After noticing some oil leaks, he removed the under trays so he could see where these originated from. While the under trays were removed, an assessment was able to be carried out to see where any welding might be needed on the floor of the car and also on the boot floor too.

Scott then looked at the fuel system in preparation for starting the engine. He found dirt in the fuel filter so a new one has been ordered and the filter housing has been sandblasted.

Next, Scott removed the air filter and inspected its condition. He did the same for the air intake plenum and removed the carb tops to clean out the float bowls.

Scott is now waiting for the new filter to arrive so the engine can be started.
