looks a good one

Took the shock of on the front, and removed whats left of the turret that sheered off. Spent hours with the blow torch and WD-40, finally got it all of, gave the area a scrubb with a wire brush, and a quick lick of hammerite to smarten it up. Just awaiting new heavy duty turrets, and new dampers.

Gave the spring a quick spray while it was off, tidy it up a bit.



Clutch hydraulics are also on the list, slowly getting there. Used some copper to stop my exhaust from rattling, rubbers are a bit old and dont do their job.



half the turret is still stuck to the damper, but its burst and bent so well and truly ready for the bin.

Pressed the bearing out of my old idler pulley that I changed a few weeks back and then pressed the new one in. I now have a spare idler to carry along with the rest of the bits and bobs.
