Great work ..... it's nice to finish things and just enjoy them.

Thought I would drop a picture in of the newly upholstered front seats

oh... and the Yella terra thread is still in planning ... almost finished the rotisserie.

Bit of an update:
Front seats now reupholstered
gear box - replaced with a later model one

Otherwise:
I cut up a couple of new engine stands to make a rotisserie for the yella terra shell... getting closer to finishing that too.
Too cold to work outside much

So you retrieved it from Hastings?

There's a square nut on the top of the steering box .... remove it and fill with gear oil

Keep up the good work... I will need a template for the yella terra build

The date of manufacture should be on the compliance plate under the bonnet on the passenger side.

Amazing timing .... I am in Rome right now. I Have not seen any 1200's though. But there are plenty of other old beautiful things

Single master

I will bleed and adjust them again

Kermit has done a lot of sitting in the workshop and contemplating life whilst other things get done (or not) around the house.

I did a couple of small things after the Datsun Day
1. Replaced the tie rod ends - didn't like it that the inners didn't have grease nipples (and couldn't get the bungs out to put some in)
2. Adjusted the front brakes up - too much travel on the pedal - still travel more than I like (How can I fix this?)


I have a few more things to do before I am happy to take him off for a roadworthy
1. Re-upholstering the front seats - I thought seat covers were enough but the springs are saggy and the misses wants it done
2. Fuel gauge not working - probably just a wire off somewhere
3. Keeps jumping out of reverse and sometimes the shifter will go into reverse but the gear won't engage - dunno on this one - anyone got ideas short of replacing the gearbox?

Anyway I'm a lot closer to RWC and club plates but not rushing anything.
