New Project...

Hi Flyinglandrover,

No - I haven't shown the farmer yet.

The farmer isn't on email or the internet - no real surprise there.. :wasntme:

It's a 250km round trip... I'm not quite sure that I want to go that far on Roger's maiden voyage!

I need to get the funds together for a RWC, so that I can put it on club plates with LROCV..

Cheers,
GG.

It's a credit to you, it looks great!!

Gav came over today and we basically finished Roger... :banana::banana::banana: :clap2::clap2::clap2:

Jobs done today:
* Replaced leaking core plug (rear of engine block)
* Tightened up slight fuel leak on carby
* Tightened up slight exhaust leak on manifold
* Adjusted throttle linkages
* Adjusted hand throttle
* Adjusted idle speed
* Greased prop-shafts and all tie-rod ends
* Put oil in the oil bath filter
* Adjusted the drivers door
* Installed the bonnet + spare wheel
* Bled the brakes (again)
* Drained water - replaced with coolant

What's left:
* Speedo cable died (another ordered)
* Slight weep from block tap (another ordered)
* Brakes not perfect - going to get the local mechanic to give 'em a go
* Roadworthy

The engine purrs like a kitten. The steering is as light as a feather. It drives BEAUTIFULLY..

A big thanks to Gav, Shaun & Mick... The project wouldn't have been such a success without these guys... :)

Great job mate, hopefully my Sons will turn out as good as yours, great to see another one hit the streets again.

Hi All,

I haven't updated this thread in a while - Roger is finished, RWC, and on classic plates... [smilebigeye]

Hi Grey Ghost
Did you find the missing badge for 'Luke' ?

Nope... [bawl]
