Title: Out from under the dust covers
Post by: squirrelciv on January 30, 2011, 06:41:34 PM

Well the kitchen extension is nearing completion and I've been away from the shed for the best part of a year now, so I've ripped off the dust covers and am getting ready to hit the spanners.

I do still have a few jobs to do on the house, so to start I'm just going to get on with all the little fiddly bits that need finishing off. On the list are;
Re-build the brake callipers and fit.
Figure out how to mount the rear calliper.
Cut, polish and fit the S/S front mudguard.
Figure out how to mount the foot rests picked up at Stafford.
Figure out how to mount rear brake master cylinder.
Fit tail-light and indicators.

For now I've stuck Abigail back on a wooden trolley so I can move her around the garage easily.

Don't hold your breath, but I will keep things updated as and when my glacial paced project progresses.

Yep I'll be at the annual buddy.

Motor from my old dommie is in [several] boxes and will be getting stuffed into Abi. Bottom end is ready to bolt back together and just needs outer cover gaskets. Top end still needs some work sadly.

Got to get her sat on her wheels properly before I get on with the engine. If I can complete the list above, I'll have a complete rolling chassis with just engine, wiring and exhaust to go. Oh and the tank needs patching up too.
