Hi All,

just a quick update on the progress...

Had front shoes relined...bargain I think (@ R150 for all 4 front shoes). Front bearings also done @ R350 for both sides. Had a battle with the inner seals, but managed to find them eventually and they seem to work fine...needed a 64mm seal

So finally got the front wheels on and will now be tackling the back.

Quick update for all to see...

not really much has been done, except for the wheels. The old wheels are available in the "giveaways" section on the forum.

Busy with the gearbox (replacing oil) and a good clean-up and then hopefully the motor can go in by the end of the week. Next up is the fuel tank. Need to clean it out and line it with epoxy or something. Been reading about all that here on the forum...wish me luck!!

Anyways, hope you enjoy the pics...
