A slower week.....waiting for parts

This isn't a 'better than it left the factory' restoration - don't have the budget for that, but instead we are trying to source reasonable quality parts that won't break the bank

Flywheel skimmed to remove score marks





Brakes & brake line assembly underway






Fuel tank fitted





'A' Frame with new brackets fitted





A couple of wiring repairs



And Springs / shocks getting fitted

Hand painted with black satin 'G.I.O' from Buzzweld.
Degreased and rinsed, then painted directly onto the Galvanised Chassis. I suppose spaying might have been easier for all the nooks and crannies (of which there are dozens Crying or Very sad ).


Finish was OK, and I used about 1.5 litres in total 2000 D2 TD5 - ahhh bless
