Looks really impressive Mr DTM Thumbs Up!.  I suspect Mrs DTM will be pleased when its finished and out of her garage Tongue


But the engine is all wrong. It needs to be a single cylinder diesel made by Lister for fitting in a little yellow run-around Grin

And a bit of a pain this one......trying to get loads of paint on this bit as the raised section is the 'A' material!

Good progress, other non-stated reasons for ownership:
1. Mark wakes early due to offspring and doesnt see why other residents of the close should remain asleep.
2. He wants to out-perform caravan owners in the queue creating stakes.


On the big-end caps there was a domed bit....is that solid metal for balancing or is it hollow for a sludge trap?

There is something wrong under the rocker cover, you can clearly see the rocker arms. Have you forgotten to install the sound-deadening glutinous black gooey stuff?

Otherwise known as :



The Black Death
