Nice work!
I currently working on a '71 T120R. Still a long way to go.
Please buy your Mrs some safety specs !!! I'm sure her eyes are too pretty to lose one!
Obollox sir i have but Hils took them off for the photos!!! (but thanks for the concern,very nice, Hils says Aaaaa too) Is your t120r on here?
So lost two weeks to illness (Hils and me !!) but we;r on the home run now, We spent another day in the garage polishing up the Alu bits, The front wheel should be back next week from being trued up, hoping to fire it up the week after next !!!!!
safety specs and mask
This old brit Alumimium is a pleasure to work on, good results fast
thanks guys. An other day closer to the finish got on with some more polishing
Tip of the week !!!!
On my timing cover and on top of the gearbox there are some Ali badges but over the years thay have been polished off so i got new ones, This is the trick to getting the rivets out.
first prise the badge off leaving the rivets proud
Then with a pair of pliers turn them anticlockwise
to fit new ones use a drift to gently tape them home
also did some work on the seat paint/recover
My mate Martin also came round and sorted out the indicators, "cheers mate"
pick up the front wheel tomorrow so me and Hils may get half a day in the garage!!!
Well friday;s here i had to get the front wheel sorted tyre on ect but had to pick it up at 12pm !!! drag.
in the mean time did some finel checks ,timing,nut,bolts oil and stuff, after lunch fitted the exhurst and mufflers, fitted the tank hooked up the gas lines and !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they leaked ! so up the auto shop get new ones (i was gonna anyway)
come back fit them.
Now with heart pounding with excitement and some fear
fuel on.
primed.
key on.
second kick !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya man this ride sounds sweet !!!!!!!
i have good oil return with on leaks (as yet!) just a slight weep from the carb bowl gasket.
Hil;s is over the moon and well pleased
Thanks guys, The tank is the original colour but well faded.
