He's Alive!

Post by Peetee »

At 16:38 GMT Albert started, engaged gear and drove me 200yds down the road and back. :D :D :D :D
I'm so pleased I was successful in replacing the engine clutch, gearbox and final drive correctly. I was sure the clutch was going to be iffy.
There's a bit of fettling of electrical items to do. Particularly adding rear indicators and checking of all consumers.
The hood needs tightening and trimming.
Carpets and front seats adding.
Then he'll be ready for the small matter of re-registering, insuring and MOT.
Older and more confused than I could ever imagine possible.

So we'll see you at the web rally then Pete ;) It's a wonderful feeling though isn't it? Knowing it's nearly done because of all your hard graft. I love getting near the end of a project. Well done :D

Well, 'A' gearstick. Don't know what it's from but it's got a bend in it and the drivers seat gets in the way of some of the gears. :o
