All coming along nicely. Thanks to advice from the forum I've fitted some decent panel beading and adjusted the stand. I can do the 'Lambretta Twist' but she stands very solid and not got her head in the air; the front wheel is just a few mil clear of the floor. Makes a huge difference.

Looks a bit like a Panda Car, but hopefully that'll make me more visable on the road. Legshields currently being brazed as there were a few tin-worm bites on the lip under the beading, and a tiny crack between the most rear end securing hole and the edge of the LHS of the Leggies. Brazing seems to be a dying art, but Phil at Torch is on it :)

Will get her out to the garage at Easter Holiday, fit the clubman and get some fuel. The AF is unfortunate in that I cannot access the barrel securing screws through the cowling due to the twist of the downpipe, no way to put a socket to it, just a spanner. But hopefully that won't be a problem as it was nice and tight on first fitting...

Hello. Its totally up to you, of course, but I think if you can keep it original, maybe with some applications of ACF-50 to preserve and protect, you'll be happy, as you can always get it resprayed another day...

Thank you Rich' and thank you for putting me in touch with Torch, who removed and rebuilt my engine, have always been happy to offer advice during my build, and did all the restoration work on the bodywork. I just bolted it together to be honest :)
