Unfortunate or very fortunate

Post by kwackersken »

Sandra said she wanted her own 'project' to do and so being the nice husband 8) I am I managed to source a real BARN FIND 1969 H1 for her Christmas present :shock:

Image

She was looking so forward to starting it but while she was at work I couldn't help myself and started on it ,she didn't really stand a chance, I thought I was helping :wink: and at least I allowed her to do all the sourcing of the missing parts and make all the phone calls to the chromers etc

Image

Image

Image

She didn't even get a look in and I even allowed her to use the kitchen Thumbs Up

Once I got the paint set back I put the seat on it for her first ever sit on her lovely H1 and guess what happened ?

Image

Image

Image

She was only too bloody short to reach the floor on it so she can't ride it and it's too nice to cut down the seat so that means I have to keep it :lol: :lol: :lol: 8) 8) aw well I will still let her use my 400

I got the registration number today from the DVLA so now ready for ME To use Thumbs Up

There is a nice big hammer there to modify the seat height for her. :D

Excellent job Kenny.. have you tried lowering the front end for Sarnd?

My H2 is almost 30mm lower than std after having to be rescued by a stranger from an(other) imminent topple, it makes a big difference.

I used to be a werewolf, but I'm alright nooooowwwwwww!!

As this is the early H1 the forks can't be dropped through yokes, I suppose the only waywould be to have shorter springs fitted, don't like that idea :(
