Many miles on it?

Welcome to Forum, did it reside in N Devon prior to your ownership?

[Hellramsden]

I found it on marketplace and picked it up over in Lincon, it was part of someones estate after they have unfortunatly passed.
I got this blue one and a very rotten silver sa but loaded with parts that currently live in my shed.

Ive been working on the engine, stripped it down and rebuilt it id somewhat say budget freindly litterally so I can move it around under its own power and also rebuild my first 12a!

It doesnt have many miles at all on the engine and tach it just sat outside for a good while of its life so its just the common areas that need patching.

Should really get better at some updates on here...

Ive spent most of the time rebuilding the engine, waiting for overnight parts from japan.

I gave the whole youtube thing a go, I dont like it I feel super arkward talking to a camera - I much prefer taking a before and after photo of my progress but heres the link anyway - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZJe402upgw

As for the body, ive cut bits away and make cardboard templates so far, the worst area was the drivers sill and bin area - nothing I cant tackle just going to take time!

I see there is a register? B752 PLU is the reg.

Anyways heres a few random progress photos too...

Good to see your progress. Love the freshly painted engine

Nice video bro. Something a bit different aye . Motor is looking nice. Audio could be a bit more clear, but its allgood hahaha

Ahhhh welding, not the most fun job around

[Hellramsden]

For a first attempt it wasnt too bad, its just using my phone on a generic amazon tripod.

I think I might give it another go but not record as much maybe just before and after?

The engine rebuild was definetly the most fun so far. Its so simple yet intricate.

Welding, its okay - Its super satifying for me to look at the results afterwards and think about how it was nothing to something. This is definetly alot more than ive done before but nothing more complex.

MIght start up a project thread now

[Casey]

The videdo was absolutely fine. You made good use of the speeded up bits and your commentary was natural and informative. Keep going as you are

A roject thread would be awesome

[Hobbawobba]

Yeah I enjoyed the video as a whole - Mainly just thought a better mic may be a good idea if it will become a regular thing aye haha

A good welder (tool) definitely makes a big difference over some of the more cheaper ones aye. Keen to see more progress
