brass expansion bottle on the mimosukle Mart. People were beginning to think I was from the planet Zarg whenever they saw my polished brass bottle in my engine bay. They couldn't (or wouldn't) believe it came as an original fit on my Sprint

[Mad Mart]

Yep...that looks about right. But you'll put them on the correct sides before you finally weld won't you?

You had me going there for a minute Alun. I didn't scroll down to see the punchline.

To be fair Scott, most of the hard work had been done. All the small patches, sills etc. I just put the wings/front panel on...oh and the h/light panels.

I'll have to go get that expansion bottle one day soon. Bit of a long drive just for that though.

duno the expansion bottle story but if scott needs to get it to you, he could get it to me and i'll bring it down...

[Mad Mart]

noooo! stick...wrong end of Kev.

Brass expansion bottle is in the mimosuckle ½ hour drive from me.

thanks anyway Kev...It's complicated!

[Dollyboy]

...well if you get it I can bring it up for scott of reqd

[Mad Mart]

Thanks Kev but the bottle is for SFB, nothing to do with Scott. Just a reply to Yellow Banana's comment (forgot who he is now ).

SFB has just left for the spray shop. I'm hoping to go down & take some photos of their progress over the coming weeks.

Was trying to think of things to do whilst SFB is out of the way, so I started on the servo.






I was going to start on the blower too but it seems in pretty good nick so I think I'll leave it.

What surprised me is that it has a single line MC on it which I'm sure it shouldn't be on a '78 Sprint. I know it could have been swapped by the PO.

Mart, I was lost for words when you Green Sprint sold. Even more lost for words at the speed you acquired a replacement and even more lost for words at the rate of progress you are making.

I must admit to having been a bit distracted of late, it has four wheels, 100cc two stroke TKM BT82, will do 65mph with your arse an inch of the ground

A bit od a distraction for me and my lad, he's taken up Karting and whilst only on four strokes at the moment he is developing a nice style, not bad for 11 yrs old to see him apply for membership of the 'opposite lock club'

Dad fancy's a few laps in the two stroke Kart before i'm too old

I think i need a kick up the @rse, looking at Marts progress!!!

[Mad Mart]

Cheers Malc, I must admit I do have plenty of time to work on it & no kids to distract me, not that that would be much of a distraction anyway (I think, I'll never know).

Get them started young & they may make it big time & look after you in your old age!

Not sure I want to be a member of the "Opposite Lock" club, sounds a bit...

[DavePoth]

Me too. I still haven't got round to dismantling the doors I took off the car 8 months ago...

[AdamF]

Likewise, Mart your progress is impressive! I took my V8 off the road a year ago to paint the front wings and the engine bay...

A year later, it's all painted and back together, but awaiting head gaskets...

How lame am I!?

[Lee Flintoft]

Got mine back this morning. Kicks up the @rse welcome!!
