Looking awesome Ben, Great work. looking forward to seeing her again.
Phillip, I went through Nungarin a couple of weeks back. I visited the museum and saw Bill. He said he'd love to have you back! Some nice gear there. I could fall for the Dingo. It has classic lines!

Thanks. Lynn, It should be interesting you'll get the perfect before and after!
More small bits to get ready this weekend. I hope to get the seats in and the throttle control rods in. The radiator has been in once already so once the throttle rods are done I can put it back in and finish the plumbing. The instrument panel is close to being done too. I've tested the (British) speedo, it works ok but the needle isn't the smoothest. Is this because I ran it up using a drill or do they always search a little at lower speeds? Ben

If the drive is loaded one way it may a cause a drag. It may also be an old lube issue having sat for a few lifetimes.

No real Scout progress today (that'll have to wait until tomorrow)
I did go over to Norfolk today so I could borrow one of Shaun's vehicles to take my track test, we ended up doing it in the MK2*, it wasn't plan A but fortunately it all went well and I passed. Thanks to Shaun for his patience especially as I crunched my way up and down the gears  I think I'd got a better idea of how to drive one by the time to go home!!Next box to tick is getting the DVLA to recognise the original reg number so it can be road registered. link to video http://youtu.be/yAkCMe4I-oc Last edited by Ben; 15-05-14 at 22:47.
