| Post subject: | PASO 'Restoration Diary' Now Online ! |
Dear All, I have now managed to bully my Web Server to accept my humble attempts at knocking together a simplistic restoration diary, (via Frontpage 2003), after two, (very), late nights and I hope that it may encourage others to follow suit, (and not the opposite)! I don't know where it will lead to, (probably a lot of tears if the Engine is a write off), but at least others may be able to learn from my mistakes, (and I can assure you that there will be plenty)! Take care and thanks for your combined encouragement to date! |

Redpaso, Yes, the seat appears to have, (only just), been re-covered and the vinyl has not been bonded too neatly underneath. Still if you can't see it I suppose it doesn't really matter just as long as it doesn't fall apart! I have now got the engine on my bench and what I presumed was the original damage, (was just incidental), and the actual damage, (which is quite extensive), was hidden from view until I removed the outer casing and the final drive sprocket. It is on par with the damaged sustained to Luca's engine. As per the original owners explanation, (posted by Mark at the start of this topic), it does appear that the damage was caused some time ago and that a recent Starter Motor replacement/repair has disturbed the previous attempts at sealing the damaged area. That aside, my first opinion is that there seems to be as much 'bonding' as there is 'welding' and it is not an, altogether, pretty sight. I will leave judgement until I have taken a closer look, (possibly during the weekend), but I have some close up pictures that I will post ASAP on 'Day 4' of the 'Paso Challenge'! Take care, |
