Terribly shit at the moment, having to move house before xmas after a 12month battle with our landlord (been in the property 10 years with shit service and after us kicking up a fuss he's now selling the house).
Full of man flu.
Just had to have one of our pets put to sleep.
Not enough hours in the day.
Bloody feezing.

But yeah not bad :lol:

Tip of the iceberg that mate,
Also had our lass off work with health issues,
Alcoholic inlaws causing issues and waiting on an Autism assessment to be done for Presley.

If I still had hair it's safe to say it would have been gone over the last 3 months

Long time no post.
Last pic was a teaser of polishing then I didn't follow it up.
Nothing more has happened but here's the photos after polishing with a quick mock up with chrome parts.
I need to get the engine mounts of for copper plate then I can get motor rebuilt.

Did you polish yourself?

I'm trying not to make a cheap gag here, but I think I'm failing.

Cheers Dickie,

Yes polished myself but I think it had been done before as it wasn't too difficult

Fed up of seeing this on the bench, took it down to Jason Frost on Saturday for a couple of jobs.
Holes for cables through frame, loom through frame and brackets for coil and regulate.
