Inner tubs although very bitten with rust are quite good other than the edges.
Rear cross member is shot, but the front one is a new.
Seems to be full of Italian sand!!
Front brake system removed, all the hard lines so far are all good but the flexi hoses are perished (get Goodrich SS braided replacements). Master cylinder is off. Both front back plates are off and good. All cylinders look OK but the boots are perished. Shocks off all feel dead (get Gas shocks) and every bolt so far is seized on!! Been using diesel as suggested does work well.
The rust is just falling off this bus - she is the grubbiest, greasiest and rustiest bus so far, but will be worth every pound of investment. ;)
Hello Rob!!
Oh my darling, beautiful Lucia. What have those English boys done to
ReplyDeleteyou?
Always you wanted to leave your home and go to England. You said
the road would be smoother on the other side, and that your life
would be so much more exciting as a left hooker. You would not
listen to your Mama when I tell you those boys only want you for
your split. Look now at your bottom and remember how smooth it
was when you left Milano.
All may not be lost though my child. Darren the hopper, tells me you
are now with some nice boys who will truly love you and make you
pretty again.
I do not know this Darren the hopper, but I know his father who is a
wonderful, kind and handsome gentleman who sadly has not much
money. But he believes we will all be rewarded in heaven for our
generous deeds and small invoices.
I must go now to confession, so until I see you again Lucia,
Ciao Baby.
