[scotty_1987]

Order from minispares arrived,which consisted of:
Horn,choke cable+clip,brake pad retaining clips,speedo cable,hazard light switch

[scotty_1987]

Well peeps haven't updated this in a while as I've been in college but out at my mates garage ATM!! And not a lot of work left to be done but it just won't run right atm...we need a timing light to set it up properly as everything else has been sorted like just needs the fiddly job of setting it up right!!
Anyway pics: new fuel pump fitted amd new wiper motor have been fitted also doorcards eventually been fitted a year later hahah !!

[scotty_1987]

got my engine stabiliser bushes will be fittng them this week then hopefully at long last ill be hitting the road !!


Nathan

[macker]

That looks like a slightly bad idea imo,
Any water coming down (remember, you're in Ireland) will go into your exhaust and not come out again until it rots a hole in the back box which won't take long, meaning more shillins for a new one

[kerryminigringo]

Ah Macker,have you never driven a Massey 135.All you need is an old bean can to slip over the exhaust when you spot the dark clouds coming .Coming together nice by the way Scotty.

[scotty_1987]

ah macker dont mind that only an original pea shooter anyway will be comin off soon when i can afford a fletcher 3" side exit hahah !!

cheers aidan appreciate the comment man !!

Nathan

[scotty_1987]

Nathan

[daniel garry]

[scotty_1987]
