Brought it a set of boring wheels, but it'll save the engine, ready for the long haul down to Beaulieu next weekend. Also a bargain set of spax adjustables for £25 in full working order :proud:

Wished that it had 10x6 Ultralites on it. Suppose I'd best get it back on the road first though.

The handles folded down on the old one so it'd go in with the wheels on, but this one you have to dismantle, shove on the back seat and throw all the extras in afterwards. Fun in the rain!

Amen to that, mine doesn't fold down at all except for the back rest. Shoe horn is definitely the angle :D

Made a new dash top today, similar in style to a clubman at the top. All to fit the big weber box in.

My K&N air filter came today. I modified the stock airbox by adding 1.5 inch holes around the outer sidewall for more air and added the K&N.
Also sanded, cleaned and vynil wrapped the 3 piece dash with a woodgrain vynil. I think it turned out pretty good.
