pushed it around the desk a little...

I brought a cararama model mini to Africa with me to get me through the tought times... so far it's been debumpered, touched up the paint work.. if I can find some red and white spray paint I may paint it...

boredom sets in rapidly here!

Drove it to work.
Discovered the 2 copper rivets holding the side frame to the radiator top (back ones) are busted. Like the fronts were a while back. :lol:
Rad coming out this weekend, 2 more M3 screws, nuts & Loctite going in there. Good fix, works well.

More paint stripping... But in my travels I've managed to find a little bit more rusty stuff and a repair or two. Something else to fix... Hope to have her in primer by Sunday....
