My son is with me and as we both live alone so are free to spend all day in the garage.
We've fixed the strange front brake problem. It was pulling violently left on the handbrake, uncoupled brakes. Spent a lot of time messing about with everything.
As a last resort we swapped the brake cable from side to side. Problem fixed. Rather surprising.
We have more to do today. Adjust steering box, strip and paint headlights. Drive it round The Borders.
We're fettling after a cosmetic restoration. Chassis straightened where it was bowed. It and the back axle cleaned and painted. Changed front axle for a better one. Brakes all relined, various parts replaced.
Wings completely restored by a friend who is an artist in steel.
Very pleased with the result.
