Lock and Load

Ruby. She's certainly had the run-around and a lot of time lavished on her these last nine months. New front end (brakes, suspension, bearings, steering), go faster bits on the engine (new carb, K&N filter and manifolds), pretty bits (more chrome and paint or powder coating in the engine bay) and a general tart-up.

Even new stainless steel windscreen washer jets. Good Lord.

And here she is. I've just re-packed the rear bearings and bled the brakes so a bit of a tune-up on the old carburettor-roony and it's all go.

By the way, it isn't actually this bright in our garage. The power is off so I'm still using a head torch with almost flat batteries and this image took a 30 second exposure to paint enough light where I needed it. Things are usually a lot more gloomy! But it's a man-cave and aren't caves supposed to be gloomy?
