Despite your amazing progress, I'm starting to think you won't be making the Lions Tour :mrgreen:

It's good to see how much sound metal there still is, the tubes all look good :) . Keep the photos coming!

Nice one Richard, progressing well,

Spray the the green monster blue, and swap the plates over,

Not that I would EVER do such a thing 8-)
Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

Must admit a bit sick with the lovely weather we are having that I could be looking to next year before I get a chance to drive her again.
Mike I had a couple of offers already so should be fine thanks.

Well done Rich. I thought I did well this weekend fitting some new kick strips and re-fitting the windscreen! :D

Keep up the good work.

Well, I have come to a bit of a realisation over the few past evenings, i had hoped to reach a landmark position and then post a collection of pics in a video telling a story from a very low point through to a high.
But having had a gander at my lower wishbones last night it is clear i have to make two new ones, to replace a defective one and to make a matching pair (one of the originals was strengthened with 19 mm square tube as the spec in the book was suspect), this one will be my spare eventually, these are likely to take me a couple of weeks to source the bits and make and then slow down the whole video process.
So will start posting up the pics i had stored.

In true Crunchie cliffhanger style, get ready for a low point !!!!! :D
Richard.
