Z1b, garage find (mine)

#1 PostAuthor: Ratty » Sun Jun 03, 2018 10:28 pm

Well, here she is, found her buried in a corner of the garage :oops: not been seen since the late 90's apart from a brief encounter with new tyres four/five/six/ten? Years ago. Then she had a tantrum, didn't like the new boots so pissed herself all over the garage floor and immediately refused to start! "F&@£ you bitch" was my thought at the time and I chucked a blanket over her. Now is the time for forgiveness, out with the spanners and get the old girl up and running again. Wish me luck :D .

Reminds me of the film Christine!

Hope she doesn't bite you back. Hell hath no fury like woman scorned and all that

Ok, well I have managed to create enough room to get the old girl down to the workbench. Some photos now, before I start, as I know I will get carried away and she will probably be in bits before I remember to pick up the camera again :oops:
