With 600 tractors, no one will get stuck....

Ha, just one more can't hurt.... Have you told swmbo yet? Or just sneaking it home

Neil, You will be missed, but what an awesome swap... I'd love to go to the show. Maybe next year I will talk the missus around! Looks like we'll be swapping show pics Not too good a forecast up here I'm afraid for the weekend. Mark

I am slowly being talked round Yes it will have front fenders.... Thanks Ian Got 4 days at work in London, not sure it will be a rest as I've been on hols for a week, so no doubt it will be mayhem! Steering now complete-ish.... Very tight, with no play. The rubber damper will have to go, it made adapting discovery parts to beetle very easy, but it's twisting under load. Engine is out as there's nothing to bolt to yet, there's no seat or fenders either. I did get 5 mins to offer the original raider footrests up, with a bit of cutting and welding they will fit just fine. So this is how it ends for a few weeks, will continue to see how it goes and whether the GT gets the boot in favour of bendy

That leaves me with the quandary of getting the steering coupling completed and swapping it with the GT. As it's not running under its own steam it will have to be towed too.... Back down south for 4 days at 3am, so time is tight.

Shaping up to be a good one, despite a few setbacks in our household I'm looking forward to loading up Friday morning. Looks like I'm bringing: Project C4 C-121 GT14 Project bendy - if it will fit... It might replace the GT14 Dad is bringing Lawnranger 7hp Lawn ranger 8hp C-105 What are the rest of you bringing? James? Nigel? Chris? Norm? Paul?

I was thinking that yesterday, seem to remember you hitting a 1000 posts on the other forum pretty quickly too... We like your rabbiting and friendly contributions! You also dilute some of the wheel horse talk too

I'll be loading up Friday morning.... In a hurry

I want that track kit

An overdue update... Thought I'd get in the action on fender repairs, by the time I welded up the holes in a c series fender, I thought it easier to weld up the very rusty raider fender. Here it is with most rust cut out and patched And with the last patch in place Time for a short video showing the final transmission arrangement and steering. http://youtu.be/S6zzlN8f1-0 And some pics with the body mounted and engine It was going to Newby, but now the GT is going there's no room...

Lovely machine

Very retro

Reminds me of this....

Ahh, pre rusting to save time outside

C'mon then, what's with the acid etch?

Top job

I think Richard may chime in on this one, or Andy?

Looking good

An even later happy birthday.... All the best!

They don't really suit black do they....

Looks as rusty as my raider! But then mine has been on fire

Never knew you could do that!

Yeah, we want pics!
