Thanks Jingles, sorry about the pictures Little more than an oil flush and fresh oil/filter, then on the road. I am amazed how well it is running after so long laid up I'll be taking it to several local shows over the summer, including Dunstable, Bovingdon, Harpenden and the Patina show in Kent. Might be able to make it to Yakushi at the end of the season, we will see |

Nice to hear that you got it back on the road. As i see you only need to sort the rusty arches now. Other than that it look in perfect condition for its years! Great work! |

Thanks Mazzzzzz! It took four years, with a lot of cutting out metal from donor vehicles, but the floor and rails are dead sound now. I have cut good metal off a donor car ready for the wheel arch, but for now I'm just enjoying using it. Got to fit the leather interior before the shows, but that's easy |
