So the ratter known as Suzy is finally resurrected from the corner of the shed, so the black one can rest its SHINY DOWNPIPE for winter. Young Christopher has spent a couple of days in the dungeon at the bottom of the garden rebuilding the carbs I got sent in the post and swapping jets and stuff.....and shes alive........what a beautiful girl she is ,all the rust and clutch as heavy as MR.T's bicep, callipers you have to hit with a mallet etc
But shes alive and her exhaust has a real deep throat, lurverly... For winter its preferable to run her, warts and all, and as soon as i'm off work after Xmas for 3 months we can strip her nakid and rebuild her properly I got a new subframe delivered yesterday that will go on her as she has one thats a nice shade of orange, but it will wait until the strip down to be fitted oooooooooooooooooooooo i'm so happy ![]()
