I would agree with Scott on this, I would check that the ground cable in
the trunk area is checked for tightness as well as any of the wires that
were disturbed in any way. The bolt that indirectly shares the earth
would be the first wire I checked. After our restoration my father was
in a hurry to get the car going and didn't bother to tighten the ground
and I had the same problem. Once I went back and tightened everything
up problem gone. I had a 62 mini cooper that also had a bad ground wire
and it is amazing the problems that it can cause, it took me a month to
track that one down.

Dereck,
Sounds to me like there is not a strong enough current going to the
starter.
You may want to double check all connections again. I know it sounds too
easy but that is want my started did before I had a good connection to
the
battery.
Good luck.

look for the car. I removed the number plate light and taped up the
wites. I
removed the battery to enable easier access to the bumper irons. One of
the
nuts kind of indirectly shares the same post as the earth. My battery
switch
has never been connected.
