Congratulations. You'll have to keep us informed.

Put an add in the Recycle section.

Phone Norman Elliot 01228675336. Show starts 10am. I'll be on duty at the exhibitors gate from about 6am. That's the first gate you come too. I'm on site from Saturday morning till Sunday night.

The water and 10% caustic acid we used at work didn't discolour aluminium. Did a couple of bike carb's for a lad.

Entries are closed now, but you can still get a late entry. You just won't be in the catalogue. We never turn anyone down. Rocboni may be coming down. Just to visit. I think having to have insurance put him off bringing anything. Try and change his mind. I'm taking the C-81 and C-125 again. No chance of the C-121 being ready. BTW. If you have anything for the auction, anything whatsoever, take it early on Saturday morning. Things sold first tend to get a better price. You could fetch your Ransomes Saturday as well. I'll look after them.

Todays effort. Three coats of primer. Three coats of top coat. Another to go on soon.

You've got your work cut out there. But you'll get plenty of help and advice from the Bolens lads on here. Looking forward to a blow by blow account of the rebuild.

Serial number on mine Tom, is :- 87 - 31SW01 - 01845. Made in Southbend. There's a photo in the gallery in Stormin's Stuff.

Must be nice to have them all up and running. What's next?

Indeed it would.

Split roller makes it easier to turn.

Mark has a source for lights. He was going to let me know where from. Give him a nudge.

I'm sayin' nowt.

I can just picture him in flying helmet and goggles.

Now that's an interesting machine. What's the engine?

Maybe dirt is finding it's way through from the fuel tank. Just a speck will cause the float valve to leak.

C4 is my guess, despite the extra weight on Bendy.

I wonder if that's where it'll end up?

Thanks Tom. Roughly 12 hours. I need a bigger e-tank. I don't know about it looking amazing, but it'll look better than it did.

It look in pretty good nick. Did you hear it run?

I've spent all afternoon, filling and sanding the top. Priming and top coating the underneath. What do you think?

Well done.

Be good to see you, Mark. You still got my mobile number? I've yours.
