Henry Webster:
It's been off the road for some time. I think you'll find giving it some heavy use will make a big difference really quickly.
Mine gets used infrequently these days, and when I do get to take it out it always feels a bit sleepy, but after some heavy right foot treatment its soon back to normal.
Fresh fuel might help too - have you changed the filters?
Budgie:
If it still feels sluggish after that then maybe look into altering the position of the diaphragm on the injector pump to give you a bit more fuel (assuming that's not been done already ;) ).

Had mine done at www.rustmaster.co.uk just before Christmas.
The steel bits that I can see all appear to be nicely protected. There are a couple of downsides: now when you work on the vehicle you get covered in black muck; some of the mist settled on the paintwork and had to be polished off.
The main point I'm not sure about is whether all the insides of the box sections, doors etc are indeed properly protected. They do aim to do inside everything but let's face it, the only way I'll find out if it worked is when the car doesn't go rusty in several years' time.
One other thought; if they'd done inside the door sections then surely the windows would pick up a layer of waxoyl when they are wound up and down... they don't...?

A number of spots of welding are due to be tackled now -"the more you look, the more you find", Tommo says!
Anyone know how hard it is to change a windscreen motor? The current one is shot.
Hoping to put it in for MOT within a couple of weeks
Henry Webster:
I don't suppose its much fun as it must be a dash out job. Fairly straightforward on the racer with little in the way of dash!
Its a pity I've just sold s/h wiper motor you could've had!
