[Rusty Mike]

Thanks Guys

we've been out a couple of times now, and she's running well.  just need to polish the paintwork and a few small bits inside.

[stuart bowes]

that's a quick turnaround as well especially considering the amount of work needed doing

 

2 years and 25 pages later I'm just about nearly finished the welding

its all about the journey.  long as we enjoy doing it.

 

I need to flat the paintwork and polish, and I have a small oil leak to sort. be she's still running well. I usually take her out when the roads are quiet.
