Made some good progress over the last few days, we can now start, go, steer and stop!



Check out what's been cooking in the Dirtbiker kitchen:



Nice radiator! You can also see the new reclamation yard shelf which looks cool but you can't really put stuff on...
Had a great experience with Ken Allen Radiators in Plymouth. Took the radiator down with Dirtbiker Junior and explained my error with the long bolts. Ken gave us a tour of his workshop and we pressure tested the rad there and then to check for other leaks. Ken even showed me a photo of his grandson with a fire engine radiator they had just restored. The rad was deemed in excellent health other than the hole I put in it and Ken had it ready for me next day with a fresh coat of paint and charged a very reasonable sum. He is going to do me an added capacity rad for the 96.

Looks good, have you lowered it? That platform on the roof needs an access ladder!

Cheers guys.
Yep, lowered... was seriously thinking about a ladder but I think it would attract to many drunk people on th way back from the pub!

Passed first time with no advisories - happy with that for a car I put together from boxes of bits!

Technically MOT exempt but I think good to get it checked.

Cheers

This one has jumped to the top of projects because I have been editing the posts to remove Photobucket and switch over to Flickr.

There has been a bit of project progress too but I haven't got any pictures of that so here is one from Swedish Day instead!
