Here Goes:
Bought the buggy off Asbo in December. Gonna keep the name and paint job for the time being as I love it.
Asbo delivered it from Glasgow in all that bad snowey weather that we had. He stopped for an hour or so, cup of tea and he was gone back up north!
I knew that there was a serious knock in the engine. I'm a self employed mechanic, so no real problem.
Removed the back end, engine, subframe and running gear all in one.
Every thing covered in oil and grunge. Gonna change every gasket and seal on engine and gearbox.
Spent hours and hours cleaning everything with Jizer and a tooth brush!!!!!!
Seperated the engine and box and found No2 bigend knackered. The con rod and the crank also knackered. Picked up 2nd hand parts and got to work reconditioning engine. New bearings, seals and gaskets. New all pump, release valve etc.
Will post photos soon. I'm gonna treat all metal parts with rust cure. I've also got hold of some 2 pack epoxy red lead type paint. Here is the treated subframe.
Sorry can't get pic at mo............will update later.
Stripped
