Gordon R Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Still enjoying the thread. It has given me the bug to do something. I haven't got the room for a car to work on - at the moment - but fancy doing a motocrosser. Got offered a couple of 1970s Montessa trials bikes on Sunday. Not my thing, but a mate is having a look at them - he is into Montessa scramblers. Edited February 24, 2016 by Gordon R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted February 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 iv ordered a big end bearing shell set as he said we needed them, and he was bringing some tool to put inside the place where the pistons go, not sure what it was called but sure iv seem one on ditchmans thread. looks lovely and clean inside, with a bit of luck it will look like that on the outside soon, not this weekend thought like i was hoping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Sorry guys. Just waiting for some new parts for the engine. Got everything out of the Garage on Sunday and gave it a good clean. Didn't think it worth taking photos of though. And spent 3 hours cleaning tubs of nuts and bolts that have been soaking for weeks. Also didn't think worth photoing Hoping to get my bulk head and radiator panel back soon seen as he's had it a month now. I know I rid him to do it between jobs to make it cheaper but Jesus.
