Strip down begun

[grahamv6]

Well spent the morning stripping Lou C down.
Even tho she started after 8yrs being stood theres going to be alot of work needed after digging deeper!!!.
alot of bodged jobs have been carried out on her over the yrs so had to take a deep breath and say will all be worth it in the end!!!!.
taken a few pics so will post them when sorted them out.
sat in the sun this afternoon and started cleaning some of the plastics up heres a few pics 




rear mudguard after removal.



after cleaning.





took some sorting as a preveous owner thought painting them in gloss black with a brush would be a good idea!! removed rear reflector and bracket will get a new bracket made up at work . lucky have a old guy at work of 72! who is the most amazing guy with metal he can make anything even identical to original old school hes forgot more than most know !!!!!

il post some more when i sort the rest

Had a few hrs this morn so stripped a few more parts from Lou C . Engine out and on bench to find a none standard front engine mounting bolt has been used wich was to small and has now elongated the hole in the engine casing!! Also rear none standard. Not happy !!! Are engine bolts available?

[rob99]

Sounds good that you have got to the engine but not so good that they have used the wrong bolts ill have s look for ya in the box of bits i have they wont be olive green but the right ones

That would be fantastic if you could Rob. Not going for pristine as new just very tidy and useable.
Down to bare frame now so tomoro can sort in to piles for what wants what

Thanks
