Decided to take the rad and nosecone off after all, and as per Brian's instructions, got the timing cover seal done with no problems at all.
And, threw some primer at her ready for a fresh coat of
empire blue.
Collecting 4 tyres for her tomorrow, and then draining the back end to replace the pto selector shaft seal and the pto back end seal. Then wheels off and sort the brakes out, get the rims sorted for painting, carry on cleaning up the rest of her for priming before giving her a few coats of
empire blue. Starter motor rebuild, panel beat the nosecone, new set of grills, though not orange ones, sort the lights out and the job should be a good 'un!
Really enjoying my week off so far
