Hi all.
« on: September 28, 2016, 05:31:19 pm »
Hi all, I'm Alex. Currently live in Liverpool, but from rural Leicestershire originally. I picked "Gerald" up last weekend from East London. He's a 1980 109 SW 2.25 petrol. Managed the 120 mile trek to where he's currently in storage pretty well. Just need to sell the current car and he will be in daily service!

Anyway, here's a picture:


And now I'm off to lurk round the forum to look at all of your leafers!

Nice
All the right bits, but not necessarily in the right order.

Thanks all for the welcome.  Chhrs

here's a few more pics,




There's a few things I don't really like... Chequer plate on the rear cross member (nervous!) and wing tops, the galv cappings and windscreen surround have been painted, the passenger side door mirror vibrated off on the A1M, and it started stuttering/ missing about 70miles into the trip.

I think an overhaul of the carb and the entire fuel system is required, and an upgrade to leccy ignition... it's pointless!

Have a good day all
