Well its got me stumped, the photo's are now in a separate Google photo album that is shared and other people I know can see them on their own PC?
Can anyone see them?

Stupid question time : Have you updated the links to used the link from the shared album?

If so, then I don't know. I'm seeing a grey 'no entry' sign when viewing them.

Might be best to just upload them using thumb snap :/

I just use the ‘Upload an image (beta)’ option at the top of the the message window. You then just select the image off your device.

Fair to say that you’re posting again will make a lot of people very happy. Welcome back

I can now see one image 👍 looks to be the sump with the filters sitting in it and some sort of plug!

Really looking forward to some updates!!

My Late Dads one is Still for sale in Austria, but @ £220 grand, it's gonna be for sale For Ever. I was hoping to get out to see it, but an operation has put the kybosh on any travel ATM.

OK Peeps back on it now and hopefully able to post pictures, Fun with the petrol tanks

The tanks have a little sump at their base with drain plug and outlet hose barb with a filter inside.
This is one of the sumps un-soldered and removed with both filters. Both tanks had this level of tar/gunge.


The box of ash like dust also came out of the tanks!


Outlet sump soldered back on.



Two holes (one either side of the vertical baffle) were cut in the top of each tank for cleaning, these are the patches soldered back on.

This work was done by Regal Rads down in Kent who also re-cored the radiator.
More to come

Absolutely epic blog, my heart sank faster than your top coat when i got to the paint issues, fair play to you though working through it and spot on, the journey is more important. Any updates on the finished result of the paintwork? cant wait to see this finished, also any links to the Mexico you mentioned early in the thread?

[barchetta_boy]

Any chance of an update?

[neutral 3]

Great to see this back up !

[TR4man]

Damn - I thought there had been an update!

[GVLJ]

OP, I saw on another thread that the old girl is back on her own wheels... Is this true? Are there pictures?
