Re: This Super major wants to introduce you his new owner

As she has a replacement engine, it doesn't have the right papers to go on the road. Will see how far we go there. Plans are as follow: I've got the complete brakes out so far, one side was really rusty. New discs and springs are on the way. The hydraulic cover needs to get off again, as I'm not get...

This Super major wants to introduce you his new owner

First things first: thanks for the acceptation to this amazing board. I recently bought this nice super major. The hydraulics and the brakes needs to be repaired. The engines works well. A little leakage is seen at the pedals. Here are some pictures: https://s31.postimg.org/p9227324b/DSCN6838.jpg sc...
