Engine OUT!

Look mum, no engine! Well, it was going to be a warm one again today, so after dropping Nancy off at work at four this morning, I decided to make myself a coffee, don my overalls (against the bl#%$#y mosquitos) and venture into the workshop…   This is as far as I had gone before,…


Head J.O.B / Fuel-Tank

You don’t have to be a ‘shrink’… to see what’s going on inside THIS head, that’s for sure! Apart from the butchery from yesterday’s tale, today we have a story about – you guessed it! – mods and rockers! Next off is the bevel gear housing, which comes off with three nuts, two directly behind…

Inventory of Needed MAC Parts

  SO, today I had a real walkaround and took a closer at the MAC to see what parts would be needed to turn this into a real stunner. On top of this will come the cost of blasting (where necessary, which I don’t really think that it will be) priming and painting/powder-coating and the…
