The old girl went a bit mental today. My rear lights weren't working 2 nights ago so my father had a fiddle around today and he managed to fix the problem but then something else wouldn't work. I think everything is working at the moment but anyone got any ideas why it was doing it? :\ I fixed most things by just rotating the fuses

Well I broke down for the first time today. Actually I broke down about 7 times. We think the carb piston thing was sticking because everytime I came off the accelerator and started slowing down it would cut out and I had a job to get it started again. So I've oiled the carb up and hopefully should run fine

don't want a repeat of today tomorrow again !

	Any one can restore a classic but it takes a real man to cut one up
