It's no more

Well, I tried selling it and other than one bloke asking if it would fit under his Capri (!!!!!!) had no luck so the whole lot has gone in a skip other than a few bits and pieces.

So, that's that.

There will be something else when I am right in the head.

That's that then..

Well, another unfinished project that I've had to sell for reasons I'm not going into on here.

Thanks for looking.

There's another work in progress but that's for another blog

Did some work today..

..finally got up some enthusiasm to get on with the welding so lifted chassis on one side allowing me access to welds which I'll carry on with during the week.

Am hoping to get the engine/box roughly fitted next week.

Will try and get some pics uploaded once I've tidied the welds and chucked a bit of paint protection over it ... 

Didn't sell so...

it looks like I'm keeping it. You'd think with 60 odd watchers, someone might have made an offer :D

I bought a Range Rover P38 off the in-laws a few weeks back and really did like it but the engine was knackered and I finally decided with my head that it would be wise to get rid of it. Shame because for a 16 year old car, it was in fabulous condition .

Anyway, currently awaiting the return of my piston and barrel for the Velosolex so I guess I ought to get on with Scim then.

Tomorrow I will sort out the garage (workshop!!) so I can get on with the welding of the subframes to the chassis then I'm going to get the engine and box in to place which will allow me to sort the fuel tank and exhausts, then move the seat brackets and blah blah blah....

Might start prepping the body as that's at work and I have lots of power tools/sanding equipment there.

I'll leave it at that for the time being as it's quite a lot to be getting on with.

Wanna buy it?

OK, I have got the whole project up for sale on ebay at the moment, If it doesn't sell I will persevere and have a go at finishing, but I have so many things to do that I am not getting any time to work on it.
My contact details are on the ebay ad.

More soon...

Sorry, but not been working on the chassis for the Scim the last couple of weeks as have been having a mad session trying to make progress with the Velosolex which has come along very well indeed.

Hope to start reassembling that possibly over the weekend and then on with chassis.

Have a look at

for more info and pics :D

Hahahah!

Not much happening this last week as my trailer is still sitting on top of the chassis which makes access a bit awkward. Hopefully that'll be put back in the right place over the weekend and I'll be able to carry on seam welding all the joints.

The reason for the that haha! is that I got my hands on another project today - hopefully it'll be a very quick resto, but it might get some mods - still debating that atm. It'll probably mean another blog will be started :D

It's French, looks like a bicycle and has an engine over the front wheel. 49cc and 1/2 hp, should be awesome. If I can get another couple of engines, I might make a 150cc triple, or just add an electric motor to the rear wheel:) It's a 1957 Velosolex 660.

Pics and blog will be started soon, and hopefully Scimitar updates will resume towards end of weekend; unless I get distracted!

Cheers
