things are moving steadly on, the new springs arrived yesterday but the inner ones were wrong so after a phone call this morning they are now making some more the correct size. I have over hauled all the wheels, bearing and seals etc so now the first wheels are going back on.

I have had the engine apart, fitted a new inlet valve and guide. It has had a very good wash and inspection, and im glad to say there is no wear in the engine. it has been painted in British army rebuild blue/green (BS 101).

The gearbox is aslo like new ( Richie was a bit envious when he looked inside it the other day) so just need to fit the carrier adaptor parts to the box and its ready to fit.

So hopefully this time next week it will be sitting on its wheels and the engine and gearbox in. Lets see if work gets in the way !!
