Starting again.

Early on we made the decision that ‘if it’s worth doing it’s worth doing right’, although the budget is tight (though not as tight as me) we wanted to do a proper job and try not to cut corners.

I have to admit that me idea of bolt it all back together and use it was tempting but Martyn was having none of it, he wasn’t going to put his name to a bodge job.

Once in the workshop we decided that the best bet was to strip her down (almost completely), so off came the body, out came the engine and gearbox, axle and springs, trunion tube.... the only things we left on were the floor boards and frame front.
