  1. Lovely job. I'd be afraid to use that deck.

    BOLENS STASH UPDATE

    Looks like you've plenty of room for a few more.
  3. He's spent to much time down south.
  4. Ours have. Eldest daughter married son/grandson.
  5. I was thinking plenty of rev's and drop the clutch.
  6. The Ford FW 30 wouldn't get down our lane. Or the John Deere.
  7. That's not good. Hope you find another engine.
  8. I thought they lived at the back of us.
  9. But they're all 4x4 Mark. Didn't know they were your thing.
  10. Next doors as well most likely.
  11. Fuel tap will be leaking 'cos you've put fuel in the tank. Getting WN off the bench should be easy if it's facing the door.
  12. Just going to get the head converted to unleaded, Iain and a general tidy up inside. Also a bit of welding in the boot. Don't you start!
  13. She's actually mentioned selling it next year, Mark. If it is sold, I hope she remembers WHO paid for it. TR6 Iain? That's more like it.
  14. SWMBO keeps mentioning the Spitfire and how she would like it back on the road. So while the horses were still on the trailer, I decided to give the workshop a bit of a clear up and rearrangement, so work on Spit could commence.. Not seen that much floor space since It was built. Didn't last long.
  15. I take it the Showman went with you? Did he keep his hands in his pockets?
  16. First things first. Check that the bore is not scored. If it is, you may be able to get it rebored. If not, another barrel or engine is required. To clean up valves, piston and heads, I use a 6" rule and GENTLY and CAREFULLY scrape the carbon off. You may as well remove the valves and see what state the seats are. Lap them in anyway.
  17. Looking at the bore, I'd say you've got a broken ring or two. Those look like score marks. Hence the oil on everything.
  18. Just something to give you all a giggle. Before we set out for the arena, the showman got a rope and shackle from his van. "Just in case anyone needs a tow", he said. Turned out to be a good idea, didn't it Chris? Waiting to go into the arena, his little RJ stopped and refused to restart. So Paul towed him round with the Rowcrop.
  19. Saturday was busyish, Andrew. Sunday was packed.
  20. I hope Wendy didn't give you to much grief over the push hoe? Soon as I saw it I thought of you.
  21. Aye! And you southerners did. Every hour on the hour. Surprised they had any left. Not make decent tea down sarf?
  22. You should have seen the line going out of the site, Nigel.
  23. Just a note on the Corgi motorcycle. Made by Brockhouse at Southport, along with the BMB President and Indian Brave motorcycle. My father worked there during and after WW1. We lived about 100 yards away.
