Nearly as hot as the 25th of July. 41 degrees in the workshop today!

First run up the road since its total rebuild. Last on the road in 2008.

Don't get many of these in. Trike with mini metro engine and hydragas suspension. Trike was in for suspension pump up on the rear.

Looking almost ready for MOT next week.

Some more videos of the X1/9

Been a mad few weeks with lots going on and a lot of customer cars in for various pieces of work. I finished off a job mid afternoon and decided to take a couple of hours to myself to get the X1/9 moved on a bit. Cleaned out the interior. Refreshed the bumpers and side strips. Repainted the exhaust guard and dug out some rust on the arches.

Well this is the third cambelt I have had in the last 12 months that has been timed up incorrectly by a previous owner or mechanic. When I bought the MGF over to the workshop yesterday I thought it felt a little flat and unresponsive. Turned out the cam timing was out by a whole tooth on the crank!
