The brake rebuild was completed before the break but I still had the stuck clutch from when it was in storage by the previous owner.
The exhaust rear box had rusted to bits and I made up a makedo straight pipe just so I could drive it about(read loudly!)in vain hope the clutch would release itself.Not being t&t or insured ment going up and down my close.
On sunday I decided to use a rear box I had been given by craig(crashbang on here),minus the pipe work he had cut off!,and proceeded to make this fit by welding a combination of pipework and joints onto it.
All went well and it now sounds legal and looks good with its 2" tail pipe poking out the back.
A few hours later I find myself at the Hospital walk in centre,I had got a piece on Marina stuck in my right eye and it was beginning to hurt!!
Two hours later(its now 10pm)Im back home with the Marina bit removed...all I can say is Ouch!
The next day Im out playing with my strobe light timing it up and adjusting the carb mixture,fixing up some of the loose hoses.It now runs well sweet and ticksover nicely,it was well rough before.
Today Ive had the chance to get her out on the road again in a vain hope the clutch will release,and to my great relief as I was having trouble selecting 3rd gear the clutch broke free and worked perfectly.
Temptation was to then drive around with a grin on my face but no,it was back to the garage before anyone saw me.
Front wheels are now off and ready for the two new tyres to be fitted tomorrow and then its MOT time ......tax and insurance will follow and then you wont be able to stop me. :P
So,what have you been upto.....................................................
