Keeping up to date!
I keep forgetting to update this blog. Don't know a way round it really apart from trying harder to remember!
Am in the middle of a weeks holiday in which I am supposed to be having a REALLY good sort out of all my scooter stuff.
Not doing so well so far - Monday I went to the Gym, for a haircut, to give blood and to see the latest star wars film.
Yesterday the weather was rubbish.
Today I started a big sort out of stuff. One of the ideas I have got is to get some big stackable boxes so I can store everything from an engine and all the small parts from each scooter together. I've got a load of old plastic trays but they are ever so slightly too shallow to put an engine case, crankcase side and mag flange in.
So I will have to have another think.
I dug out all the crankcase sides I have and also all the mag flanges I could find.
I stripped all the crankcase sides right down and made a list of what I had.
It sounds very anoraky but I numbered them all so I can link them with a main casing and mag flange.
The shed where I store most of my stuff is quite cramped. There is a big bench in there that has the parts washer on then the rest of it is basically used as a big shelf. I am not sure about getting rid of the bench as I might end up just piling stuff up in there and will end up being unable to get to anything at all.
I got bored of listing and tidying so I dragged out all the parts for my cutdown project and sprayed them matt black. It looks OK but the perfectionist in me was cringing. At the end of the day it is just a quick way to get a Lambretta on the road and I will just have to keep spraying it again and again until I am happy with it. Or cover it with stickers!
