Like opening a time capsule

Just got these from FW Thornton & Son Ltd in Shropshire.

Perfect customer service, hard to find these days!!

Off to the engine shop now to get the cylinder matched machined to suit these bad boys.

Shiny close up of the parts back from the paint shop

What are you doing with that?

Was said to me as I carried my WLA engine up into my office and placed it on my desk.....I think it looks great and give's me a bit more space in the workshop until I'm ready to rock "n" roll on the WLA project.

New tools in the workshop

Check out the pinstripes, they don't make em like that any more!! 140 Sfr.- you can't say a word and it works as well.......bonus!!

Controls

Spent some time over the weekend working on installing the control cables and levers.....

TOMASELLI MATADOR LEVERS
NORTON STYLE RUBBER GRIPS
STD Instruments and steering damper

Can't wait to use them properly!!

Paint idea #1

BSA Photo Shooting

I decided to take some time today, get out of the workshop and enjoy what may be the last good weather of the year before winter comes. I've been doing lots of small thinks on the BSA over the last few weeks, last night I decided to out her together so I can start planning the paint scheme. Here's my "blank canvas" .....just add paint.....

It would look cool to drop her down this low but I don't think it'd be so comfortable to drive!
