The Torch...

The Torch passes through Slough, near to where I work. Shame I could not get the JB van near to the Torch route, a Torch and JB picture would have been nice.

The very nice van in the previous post has sold for a very reasonable amount. Some recent project vans have gone for a lot more money so I think this was a bit of a bargain.
I hope the new owner will make contact and we can find out if he likes his new toy.
I have been busy, well as much as I can between the very heavy showers that the UK has been suffering these recent months.
I've started the overhaul of my JB rear axle while this is stripped out I have replaced the crown wheel and pinion to alter the rear axle ratio.
I have as always started a blog on this so if it interests you do take a look.
