Good plan Stan.
Unfortunately neither Stewart or any of mine will ever have rego stickers...

Hey thanks for that MyEKisdriven.

There's going to be plenty of parties when it's finished...

Next Nats up your way Searsy....

Wayne - I reckon you could capture the market on ebay making up 'repro' rego stickers...I'm sure someone is already dong them though...

So Dave came over to lend a hand to adjust and bleed the brakes, get the clutch happening and to help fire her up!

Fun n games with the brakes as the new bleeder valves were blocked

but he got it sorted in the end. We have brakes.

Next was the clutch which didn't want to play either and we had fluid coming out of the bleeder valve there too. Will have to come back to that.

Finally the moment I've been waiting for...firing Old Timer up for the first time. I just had to dig out one of my old Kustom Kroozer t-shirts for the occassion...

Video #1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwFOE6lAzbU&feature=plcp
In the first video check out the backfire at 38 seconds. Dave nearly lost his eyebrows.

Video #2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igOSX08MEjQ&feature=plcp
In the second video my wife comes out and complains it's too loud

She was only joking. At 1:28 Dave says "Is there oil in the gearbox..."

So we shut her off...

But boy she was pretty loud for a 138.

Happy happy.
