Tripping The Light Fantastic....

Wow - has it really been over a year since I last blogged on here? I think it has so high time to update progress so far....

In essence, not a lot has happened really...... 519 still lives undercover in a nice warm barn in Suffolk, with the odd job being done here and there, but of course protected from the elements. The carburettor was rebuilt by the carburetter exchange in Bedfordshire earlier in the year, so it stands a much better chance of running properly now! A temporary fuel line has been fitted and the remainder cleaned, and it currently runs from a can, meaning that the next job will be to clean the tank out ready to re-fit.

One bit of progress I am really pleased with is the fact that I have found a replacement cab light. A question posed in a group on Facebook resulted in a very helpful Q4 owner in Glasgow messaging to say he had one. Once a busy patch at work had passed, a box duly arrived in the post - containing a whole new light. It sounds minor but it's one of those little things that makes it look so much difference.

As it is now:


The new arrival, ready to fit!
