86" finished at last.
After a year of hard graft, she's finally ready for the road!

Got a few little bits to do in the morning, handbrake gaiters, grease props, etc.
Then test drive... Very Happy


What I had to start with...one VERY tired 1956 86" series 1

Cheers guys,

This is our chosen chariot for the Belgium trip!
I really need to get some miles on her before then, as it needs to loosen up a bit.

Can't wait to get out and about, sadly I won't be the main driver all the time.
I did this for my partner as she struggles to drive my 80" so we thought a user friendly 86" would fit the bill.

She did want more bling, furry seats, and pink bits... Rolling Eyes 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

Yes, everything is being replaced, swivels, seals, bearings, wheel cylinders, etc

It just makes life easy to blast them as one unit, and cleaner to strip down, rather than trying to undo nuts and bolts
