My New Project

[aardvark101]

So given that it aint stopped raining for 40 days an 40 nights i thought it was a good opportunity to get on with my next project.....

 

 

 

 

What do you reckon, i think it must have been a barn find cos it smells a bit inside, evidently it has one previous owner on the log book, name of Noah !

I think he came from South London or summing, seems he last used it quite a while ago and its been laid up ever since.

 

Its got the usual problems, the floors gone, the vinyl has peeled off the roof and there's a fair bit of dry rot, but i think that with a bit of elbow grease and a few coats of

Ronseal i can get it up on its toes for the summer cruising season, looking forward to Chelsea Bridge (should just squeeze under)

Looks like a good project, this might be worth watching for reference purposes

Are you thinking of fitting a crossflow or cosworth to it? Will the transmission tunnel need altering and what about brakes?...

Well its proper Old School, so a crossflow was going to be the first choice, however despite stonechipping and Waxoyling the floorpan or "Bilge" as we have taken to calling it, there is a big problem with Barnacles causing a lot of drag, so im going to bite the bullit and whack a couple of these bad boys in her.
