not exactly an update :roll:

but i still have the enthusiasm for this and will get it done.... one day :lol: the MOT's ran out so next step is to get that back on, the problem with the fuel draining back to the tank i'm hopeing to overcome with a 1 way valve in the line, i got one and fitted it (the correct way :lol: ) i had a go today at starting it - i put compressed air into the tank filler neck as someone was turning it over - the same way ive been starting it ever since i had the problem last year :| but this time it decided to blow the fuel pipe off the top of the tank :roll: :lol:
so 1 more job on the list :lol:

i'll keep the updates coming :mrgreen:

just generally getting it ready for the MOT - new wiperblades and new halogen headlights to replace the sealed beams :D

it should be ok to go now but it needs 2 bits of welding on the sills, i dont think it's needed for the MOT but i'd like to do it before i take it and i've got 2 new sills so i might aswell do them both :D

i've also took the search light, blue light and ladders off the roof - when the welders out i'll weld up the old holes :D (if your interested in the ladder they are on ebay £10 2 days left)

anyway here's a latest pic :D
