Finally got the little mule running again, I stuck a replacment engine in but the head was buggered, swapped the old engines head in but it would't fire depite all things being correct, swapped the dizzy leads round and it works better than ever, no oil drips or blue smoke.
;D
Went for a tootle about in the sunshine to celebrate and then got onto the van.
It hasn't been touched since November when I used it to go and view a morris eight for my dad, it was a cold salty road I drove and I was worried about salt getting on the new paint so I jetwashed the van off before putting it away but journey from the jetwash to the garage was salty too so the van rested up covered in salt
Anyway, after a jump start she fired up and I only needed borrow the use of the neighbouring workshops compressor to pump up the front tyres before heading home.
Gave it a good wash and rinse, quick polish of the slots and take it out to dry it off
Got some nice waves and smiles and stopped to chat to a bloke with a mint black 2.0 capri. also got a good wave off a bloke sitting by his se7en eating some chips. I had a big grin on my face by this point.
It was good day to be out enjoying the sun by the riverside.
Still got loads to do on the van, a few pinstripes, new carpet and some more cabinets, new waterpump too.
need to jack up the rear end a little too
Sorry I didn't get any pics of the capri.
But heres a snap of my truck,
Our kittah thought it was a good day too..
all topped off with bbq spare ribs, chips and beer. A good day. ;D
