Sorting out the front tyres from the back of the shed, I knew these would come in handy one day.
No prizes for guessing where they came from, .
The wheels that i made I decided to put nuts and bolts through them although I welded them it’s just a safety issue, also found some shiny capped nuts to add a bit of bling.

My new tyres arrived yesterday, very pleased with them almost the same size and a third of the price. As the rims are old i put new tubes in them as they were only £6 each.
Now both the boys are on the floor and rolling.

Looks fabulous Chris. Those tyres looks the DB's.

Needed to chop some kindling this morning. Sometime ago I acquired some old telegraph poles. These had been cut up into lengths ready to be made into kindling. Usually I use an axe, but today I had an idea.

Looking realy good chris

Proper job Mr Showman, glad that starter cup worked !
 

Had a good day in isolation, Fitted the starter cup and it fitted ok also refitted the retractable starter on the other engine.
Ben got his belt guard modified and fitted along with  the pulleys and drive belt finally got his 4 feet on the floor so he’s moved off the bench.
As usual a few photos

I can still see the excited, dribbly mouthed look on your face Chris,  when you grabbed the tires screaming, MINE, ALL MINE  before disappearing with them in the direction of the four wheeled red skip.
