Postby tranny van man » Sat Oct 28, 2006 9:20 pm

well after deciding to keep my a series i have started to put it on back on the road, so i thought i would do a progress report. So far i have got it runing again its been stood a while,i just bled the diesel through and vrooom she started :D got it back and striped out the interear, lifted the mat and found two holes both steps and floor, not as bad as i thought :o so today i have cut out the rot on the drivers side welded in some plates and fitted new cills :) i will try and get some picks on as soon as i can.
