Why is it that anything like that is always at the other end of the country, bit too far to visit and never good enough to make an offer on spec.
Incidently, nice picture Simon
Plus, she's having our twins in April!
Here's a thought, in a few years time (if you train them right) the youngsters will be able to do all the heavy restoration work, while you sit back directing things, and then take all the credit! Result :-D
Have to side with Safariswing on this one, always use flux on a soldered joint, and always clean off the joint afterwards. However, your new lead looks quite good.
Depends what you are fitting them to, as a personal preference I wouldn't use them on a front steer axle at all. Use of a retread on a rear/drive axle is common practice on a commercial vehicle. A full case remould as opposed to a tyre that has only a tread rebuild is better.
Not sure about useful spares Simon, most of it looks wrecked or missing. Says it drives well, is that with the flat tyres? Be interesting to see if he gets a sale
We are 133.9p a litre for diesel in Sittingbourne now, that means £300 to fill up the Militant. Doesn't look like I'll be going too far in it this year
Hi Steve and welcome aboard, best of luck with your quest for an MV. You never know, there may be someone on here who can help you out with storage in your area.
She doesn't look too bad, mainly light panel work and paint. As previously stated if she goes OK you are halfway there. Anyway the worse it looks now, the greater your sense of achievement when you have got her looking at her best. You should start a restoration blog with plenty of pictures. All the best with it.
New Years Day and the good lady is at the cooker knocking out the mince pies and sausage rolls ready for the "family" who will be round later to empty the drinks cabinet etc.
She has only got half the kitchen to work in because she has let me have the rest to do the wiring on the Militants dashboard, as it's too f*****g cold to work in the shed
What a wonderful woman, and she makes me coffee as well!! Anybody else got it this good?
