started taking the cossie apart today and all looks good so far, few little oil leaks to attend to and some damage to the floors from speed bumps, but all in all just a repaint of the underside and she sould be back to full health again.
pics to follow....

Martin sorry martin totally forgot about this post! yeah rich did explain the history on this, you will have to come down to a meet when its back on the road! havent really spent much time on this recently and having been made redundant havent got the funds to do it properly so didnt want to rush it and have to do it again! have replaced all the big end and main bearings in the engine all bottom end seals and gaskets (including the sump rich, at last!) have finally removed the tank and cleaned up all the rear end just got one patch to weld on in behind the beam mount, repaired the drivers seat mount and got the passenger to do other than that it is just a matter of cleaning up the centre on the floor pans and undersealing it all. will get some more pics soon!
