Great restoration mate, love it. I'm so jealous.
I've just spent the weekend with a friend's at a show and now I NEED to get mine done!
How is the engine with new radiator and fan??

Thanks Paul, sooner or later you will ride your own!
We have had overheating issues with running without the thermostats, now with thermostats its much more better. Wise guys told something about need of restricting the water flow.
Temp is holding around 190°, but needs more tests under load. Still at the beginning...

I put today in my Zenith-Stromberg 97 adjustable main jets and its really nice thing. Work with the standard jets could a pain in the a**, so I recommend this. Very good for proper adjustment, especially if you have non-standard carb.

Nice to make your carrier more complete with this kind of parts.
Next project will be the garage gate so you can mount at the future some steps and mud skirds at the left and right side.
You did a great job Petr,nice to follow the restoration of you carrier.
Cheers Marcel

Thanks, Marcel, the gate is wide enough, but I had to get out without the navigator, which wasn't apparently very clever idea
And also my driving skills are a bit limited
