Thanks Richard, the tank isn't perfect but I'm quite happy with how it looks.. Not much to report, since the below pic's were taken the exhaust has been painted, wrapped to tray and keep the heat in.. Oh, and installed The final bit's of wiring have been done.. Clutch, rev counter, choke and throttle cables installed.. Rear drive shaft joints have been greased up and the gators fitted. A front gator was replaced as it had split.. One brake pipe moved as it was rubbing on a rear wheel! Jobs left to do.. Move a brake pipe as its hitting the exhaust! Make and install a chain guard so no body parts are sucked in and chewed up... Finish making a lid for the battery box.. Check oils. Fill the cooling system.. Put some petrol in the tank. Connect the battery.. Turn the key.. Hit the start button and see what happens.. If all goes well, then make a quick video followed by putting MadTrax up for sale... It's been a fun project, but the time has come to move on the the next mad project.... Oh, and the money from the sale wouldn't hurt Anyway, have some pic's The AA van wasn't anything to do with MadTrax, I just thought the yellow would make some nice contrast in the photo Oh.. I had to drop in the workshop Saturday only to find NIgel had given MadTrax the horn!!

Dad does not get much look in these days Iain

A good dollop of red oxide then!

Well, with the points cleaned and set I pulled it over with the rope and got a good spark So I delved in deeper... Piston has some damage to the edge of the crown, and there is a lot of play in the little end (between the piston and gudgeon pin) No major scoring on the bore The head gasket was this homemade paper affair and not doing much, I would imagine that I will have to get one made unless I can lay my hands on some copper sheet and do it myself? Is it worth (or even a good idea) to hone the bore if I re-use the same piston rings?

Another good one Joseph. I hope Dad is watching and learning.

Good work Joseph

Good work Ian. Like the Tank finish

Thanks for your kind comments lads, it’s a tough time for me as I miss her so much.
