 Re: Belgian built 1969 AK350 'Hetty' I thought cats have nine lives?  Does it matter if they lose a few?

Then I spent all afternoon cutting bits of the chassis off and welding them back on again. I'm hoping this isn't the beginning of a trend where shirt journeys end in welding... Pics to follow

Weirdly it fitted fine - I suspect the van might have a later windscreen surround? Attachment:

Re: Belgian built 1969 AK350 'Hetty' I serviced the front tie rods this afternoon. They weren't tight at all. Weirdly the right hand side needed a lot of adjustment to get it level with the left. I've lowered the front a little but it needs further adjustment. Nothing seemed too worn which was good. Attachment:
