As Promised - belated photos
As promised. These are some photos of the new workshop, taken several weeks ago now. I had intended to get more photos last weekend, but was working on rebuilding carburetor and lost track of the time! Photos of inside and pallet racking to come when I can.
And a shot of the rear axle and wheels I acquired around a month ago. The axle is still on this trailer (until I finish the crane / hoist being built at the opening to workshop). The wheels went to local truck tyre place, and after a total of 1.5hrs, both tyres were off, and wheels ready for blasting.
This is what has occupied my time Sunday. This carb arrived from U.S.A on Friday, and had some damage to be repaired prior to me deciding it would be O.K to rebuild. Ordered overhaul kit from Macsauto in the states (Love Macsauto!). The fuel pump was rebuilt last weekend....and the weekend before. Oil breather and air filter (not pictured) cleaned up at same time. The main body of air filter is presently with local engineering co. having some pin-holes brazed up.
