    The rear hubs have been waiting for 2 parts to be galvanised; the water throwers. I bought these new as the originals were very pitted and dented.

    With the engine on the way, I went to Buitelaar machinehandel to pick up an engine stand and crane and some other things which had been on my shopping list for a while.

After a while I fabricated a suction device from an old vacuum cleaner. That helped a lot, until the vacuum cleaner decided to short out and smoke a …

    The amount of dirty parts is shrinking considerably now. Especially after blasting the parts that are 'ready for painting' look amazing. It makes the parts almost look like there is a paint finish on them. I also got my hands on a broken bench drill. It's a new machine but the motor does not start well. Bit of a …
