    cheers Para/Andy!!

    hopefully, we can commence rubbing paintwork down soon, we just have to adjust the clutch cable and refit the throttle linkage as we had issues with it!
     
  7. The video of the engine started brought a big grin to my face. What a great moment!

    Well another milestone has been reached tonight - Gusbus came out into the evening sunshine for the first time since October 2008 - under his own power as well! The engine needs setting up at some point but it felt good to drive ;D
