hey all

as some of you may know i brought this early this year from rich (turbo van) it had stood for 18 months
and all it needed was a patch on the sill for and mot. ive drove it round since with only 1 issue which was a stuck stat causing the head to warp driving it back from rich's.

nows the time to fix it up and sell it on

Looks like the worst stages of tinworm. There are pinholes all over the wing-scuttle join. Good effort for making headway with the project, but it metal should clearly be replaced. Good luck

Looking good Eden.

I personally would have cut the rust out but fair play for cracking on with the CureRust fix.

Time will tell.

If you cant source a copy of the July 97 mag, then let me know as I'll photocopy the article and send it to you.

Head looks good too. How much had to come off to get it flat ?

And me Mum says Hi ! She's looking forward to seeing more pics !!

Richard.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

been a while since last update and things have moved on well,

the rust has been cut out and replaced.

rich:
i found myself a copy at bingley hall, good to see it in there. The head had around 9 thou off tho get it flat. so quite alot, but has done some miles since including going maidstone and back (170 miles each way)

and i hope your mum will be happy when its done.
