Popped along to my local rally in Monmouth this morning. The amount of exhibits on display seems to be declining each year sadly, but there was still quite a bit to see. I even spotted an old Cavalier in the carpark. Its the first one apart from mine that ive seen on the road for several years!

Looking good.....I am looking forward to seeing this one finished and running ..the Sachs engine has quiet a reputation for starting difficulties but if anyone can get one running well you can. Super job on the dowdeswell ..its been a while since i logged in so enjoying the excellent photos of your machines.

Nice Cub Cadet and Tarpen genset I had an earlier version of the Cavalier, G reg SRi 130 saloon, used to go like the clappers !

Nice Austin badged Minor LCV and Jacebsen Chief tractor with tiller.

These arrived this morning in my postbox. Many Thanks to Titch for a brilliant job , i spose I'd better get my paint brush out.

When I had a proper look at the bonnet I decided that it would need flatting back as there was some contamination im guessing in the primmer. Today I also managed to get the under belly sanded and primed. Just going to need a small skim of stopper and then it should be ready for top coat. A while back I purchased a load of N.O.S badges for Gem's, every one up till now had been fine, however when I peeled back the cellophane layer on the clutch one it peeled some of the paint off, I don't know why, but as luck would have it I had another new one that was good.
