Did some work on this tonight.

Stripped off some plastic underneath, took the front bumper off, found support welding points, cut and drilled tabs and cut down the steel for the undertray.

Also released the bolts on the tank straps and copper-slipped them and wound them back in, ready for a steel skin to be put on them to protect that.

Can't go titting about on gravel without protection, now, can we?

Some video from yesterday.  DannyP is the bloke sawing on the wheel in this one.  It's a serious business as you will be able to tell:

Out playing last night.



And we were joined by some hairdressers who swiftly got hot and bothered and had to retire early for a colouring session (or something).

Saw the BMW videos on youtube, looks a giggle. Although I bet the owner of the Solar PV farm is gonna be pi55ed with all those stones chips.

Nah, my old man's OK with it and TBH the stones don't go far enough to get anywhere near the panels.  :smug:

Need to get the filter plate sorted again and give it some more abuse.

I'll try to keep it off the ploughed field this time :whistle:

Let the steering wheel do what it wants. Really dont need to spin it that much. Just let go and then hold it when your sliding
