Milestone reached

Fairly serious milestone achieved:



now time to gloat over the tree hugging electric people who cannot match proper old fashioned engineering!
Assuming you eco leaf terribleness has a range of 70 miles and takes 8 hours to charge you would need spend nearly four years just charging the thing!

The axles are original! As is most of the bodywork

Sounds like mine. The only original thing is the paintwork.

2nd chassis (galv), 2nd engine (200tdi but mileage is about accurate for that), just fitted the 4th (reconditioned) gearbox! The rest of it is more or less original

Anyway thats a big milestone..

You will soon be able to take the "Running in please pass" sticker off the back.

I don't know what you mean, I cleaned in October after I returned from Morocco, now you can see the speedo needle!

Indeed, but I cannot seem to get a gearbox to last! Everything else are things that dissolve in the rain and turn into crumbly brown dust.
