Here’s the photos of progress so far, One tool tray needs welding and the slot for the seat spring but it’s all bent ready, the other thing I noticed the side panels need little tags welded on to secure the belt guard ( bugger ) lucky I hadn’t primered them. I’ve cut the old ones off the old panel. A job for tomorrow if I get time.

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.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. Hope you all have a good one.

Happy new year to everyone 2020 that's weird

Happy New Year from Poland for all

With the new workshop finally 95% water tight the time had come to start moving stuff. A big thank you to Nigel for helping me move all the big stuff The new pad starting to fill up. As the old place get's more empty.. When one of the most important tools get's packed away, you just know you are done at the place.. Padlock going on... And clamped up..... It's been a fun 5 odd years with lot's of good builds and fun times All of which means my new workshop looks like this!!! A quick bench has been built, not quite at the "working kettle" stage yet, but getting there.. Some space has been made inside, but I can't really sort out where things are going (I do have some idea) until the rest of the inside is clad.

Same to you Norm, and all forum members.

Ahhh, the bit that I hadn't got around to cutting off yet... Asd it happens it finally got trimmed down yesterday. Thanks Alan When the cladding was still attached to the demo cabin, no one ever saw the log cabin effect as it was tight against the hedge for years. It's nice to give it some light after years in a hedge.. Thanks mate, even if it is a corny joke The gap above the door is no more Norm as you will see shortly. Thanks Ewan, it will be a while before any projects start, but I'm looking forward to building something that's not made of wood Quite a lot has happened since I last updated this thread.. The smallest wall now reaches the ground apart from a small gap at the base so it doesn't rot with damp grass, a corner trim has been added and of course something to keep the roofing felt in place at the edges. It's really hard to get a good photo down the side as it's so narrow, you can see most of the "shed bit" door, and the two types of cladding used. A better view of things from the back garden.. The final bit at the base will be boarded up when the deep mud drys out and goes away. A view through the door. The inside has been clad around the window, apart from the bit below the window it looks rather fetching with some more log effect wood. Below the window won't be seen once a desk and bit's are put in place. Some more cladding going up. And of course the all important coat hook

Nice work Chris. You'll be making bonnets and mudguards next. Sorry! Hoods and fenders.

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.

Thats looking very good mate

Looking good Chris. That old brake press has come in handy since coming out of retirement.

I did a bit yesterday so I’ve put it with this update. Ive drilled and fitted the first side plate and quite pleased with how it fits so today I’ve made another and marked out the other two ready to cut I’ve also cut the tool tray ready to be bent and welded.
