Two more days

Post by MELLO YELLOW »

Hi guys
Two more days to go and then I go and fetch my Bay DC :hangloose:
It is a sight for sore eyes at the moment but this is going to be a long term project, by the look of it almost everything is there (hard to say as it has been stripped exept the motor and gearbox.

I would not take it if it was not for free :D

Hope to ask someone on monday to post the pics that I will take

roll on saterday :hangloose:

Hi congrats on the dc!!

I also just got one that needs plenty of work.
Should you find any bits you dont need give me a shout please - You know, should you not need the box and engine or something small :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have a lot to do as I am going to attempt to convert it from a watercooled (with a big hole in the front) to a aircooled again.....


Enjoy your project!!

Hi all
Thanks again for the well wishes
Yes I finally brought her home and took some pics :hangloose:
I will need to ask someone to post the pics for mwe as I suck at posting pics :oops:
There is alot of work to be done on her and I only need a few things for her mainly gearbox and complete set of seats
The guy that I got her from says that he already made enquiries as to the paper work and was tolt that she is off the system all that needs to be done is regester her.

On the down side I cannot work on her untill I have sorted out all the "chores" that I have been neglecting to do around the house.

Agreement that the wife and I have which gives me time to get all the parts that I need.
