Very nice!

I must try and spend more time getting mine near to painting, new clutch is next job though.

Cheers both

what you can't get from the picture is just how heavy it is!

the old man's been doing it inbetween other paying jobs hence why the motor build took 4 months!

I've nearly finished the main chassis - hopefully next week that can go up to the workshop to be painted and then we are making real progress!

What stage is the Junior then Chris?

Only the main chassis, engine and front axle left to paint but still doing mechanical work to engine and a leaking rear hub seal so the painting can't be done until these jobs are finished.

I recently bought a s/h steering box for parts and now have the bare case surplus to needs if any other Junior owner wants one.
