militant-pete

all done now went to three counties last weekend in milly all went well sounds well and has alot more power on hills so fingers crossed no more problems shim gasketts fitted

yes no prob with parts i dont like hanging around but have got shows as well

not sure realy but looking at the head the one valve has broken clean off were as the other one as been hit so i think its droped one and then it got in the way of the other im waiting on paint now should be with me on tuesday all the other bits are done but will still be looking at prob 10/ 12 hours work fitting it back up

Had a good weekend in Abbergaveny last weekend but on way back wot we all dont want to hear that funny noise of somethink not quite were it should be and then she stops very suddenly about an hour later my mate turned up with the recovery started to strip it the next day and oops mad a mess took out two valves and the piston well a few days on and just fitted 6 new pistons should be all sorted this week with abit of luck

there is an eye ring between the tracks if you look closely you can just see it

as i said i would ask the owner how much he wants ive had a good look round it today the starter has gone, seats, dash, the cab has gone on the n/s rear of the door and front all the back body box at the rear and the side lockers dont look very healthy ether ( didnt want to poke around to much didnt want to get a shower of rust ) all the rear lights are missing most of the glass has been broken and thats just getting started the bad news is the bloke is looking at :shocked: £2250 :argh: for it it is a shame to see it going that way but you would need a week to get it out of were she is and you carnt even get in to her to get parts off it, its to well boxed in :cry::cry::cry:

she is down in south wales but is in a right mess you will find that the moss is holding her together in places i exspect she is for sale but will not be cheap i will ask !some bits have been taken off and is not complete the 2 rear wheels are flat and the rest have cracks in the walls and treads :cry:

found this old girl hiding at weekend looks in a right mess

thanx mike samson made easy work of 4/5 ton jcb

got called out the other week a mate of mine had a call to say they had got a jcb stuck and as i couldn't get the militant in there, there was no better thing to use than the samson :-D here's a few picks all went well with no problems
