Yes I like the weathered look about the old girl. Going to keep this one.
I have had a lot of issues with the engine when it gets hot. After alot of head scratching it turns out it was lacking compression.
So treated it to a new set of piston rings & valves My good friend Mark came down & we took the engine apart again with his valve seat cutter & we cut new seats & ground the new valves in at the weekend. It now runs better now & will tow the gangs tomorrow & find out.
