I had a '54 three cylinder one of these years ago. Very practical and a laugh to buzz about in.

You picked that up close to where I live, shame I’m 420 miles north you could have called in for a brew. Great Chod purchasing theshadow. Good luck welding it up.

Just a quick question.

Is this going to turn into a fettle thread or will you start a new one.?

I enjoy the tinkering side and you know how to turn them around.

I'll follow anyway.
