Ready and working in 3 weeks!! :shock: Looks like I won't be sleeping much. Unfortunately this is the 'spare-time' jobs. Today I did strip down one of the brakes and gave her a good pressure wash. Still LOTS to do. I am just glad she is running well as it was 'bought as seen'. The seller did say she...

Milestone today....... Before doing/ ordering anything more expensive (and battery cables arriving) I decided to start the old girl up- First time in over 5 years. A quick bleed and away she went :clap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlXLo1OojjU She is a bit tappety, but no bad clunks, bangs or grin...

Some more work on the old girl today- most electrics are now hooked up, dash has been dismantled, cleaned and re-built so ready to fit :). I also took a picture of the dealer's plate.....

It really is a small world- I am just outside Penp...

Good afternoon Gents (and ladies if there are any), First off- I hope you have all had a Merry Christmas. I am a long time Super Major and MF35 (Can I say that here?)fan. After 15 years traveling the world I have returned to the farm in West Wales. I have been working around the farm for the past co...
