I don't have sheds full of parts, Chris.

Had a good day with the brake press, all four side panels made and drilled, one tool tray and half the second one made. All just need cleaning up with the grinder and a coat of primer. Will do photos and update tomorrow.

A mate of mine and myself picked up this C-125 a month or so ago. Unused for around two years and stored in a shed. A none runner and in need of some TLC. Yesterday it arrived at my workshop to sort out. Started on it this morning and I'll up date as progress is made. Mainly a case of fixing any issues and a general tidy up. It's to be a worker on the property he and his Good Lady have acquired, over the border in Scotland.

Ones on the list, Nigel.

It now runs after a points clean up and setting. And sweetly after a warm up and carb adjustment. Carb seems to be a plastic one. Works OK though. May need a new HT lead. Doesn't look to good. Drove it in and out of the workshop ok after blowing the tyres up. Doing that let me know the rears are water ballasted. Wee'd on the floor. I also think the brake needs attention. Stops dead when you depress the clutch. You can push it about easily though. Another steering wheel is on the cards. It has a 'eck of a wobble. The steel insert in it is very loose. The shaft is fine. Engine oil will be changed and trans drained, flush and refilled. Some nice cream in there. Gear lever boot is practically none existent. Axle seals etc. etc. etc. First thing though, is to sort out the charging system. Cos it isn't. Electrics not my forte and my tame electrician is currently sunning himself in Spain.
