I'm a very happy chappy but as I've got house stuff going on the rebuild is going to have to wait even though I'm itching! !

I've started the rebuild, slowly slowly. All the parts I'm fitting have either been totally refurbed or are new. It is taking more time than originally planned but am going a little further than expected!!!
Will post more pics but a little teaser for now!

When are you hoping to be finished as summers coming, it's May already and the days are getting longer….
Going back to your first post you said it was your 40th Birthday present and that you was currently 38, that was posted 2 years ago so does that make you 40 yet?

Would love it on the road this year but have other things taking up all my time, I'm only grabbing a hour here and there and don't want to cut any corners…..
Should have really got it for my 42nd birthday!!!
Never thought about the weight of the bits that are still to be fitted, makes sense!

No rush to finish just yet, summer a few months away. I guess you wont be driving it about during the winter months and getting it covered in mud?
