Armstrong MT500e project
After some time looking for a new project , I have now got an Armstrong again. Just needs a bit of slight attention to get it through the MOT
I purchased the big kit of parts from Pete Low last weekend , and this will go with the 500e engine I bought from Franc recently, both very good guys.
Its 90%+ complete, most of the major items are there , even got a 350 front with disc , and I shall be posting a wanted thread for parts in due course when I have filled up the piggy bank again , and probably asking a few silly questions too.
I know I shall need to modify the frame to make space for the starter motor and will be reading up on threads on that.
Just need to put it all together now, cant be too difficult can it, just like an airfix kit ? This could be a long job, but should be a lot of fun

Ooooh! I am jealous!
I am also happy to help with any welding you might need, I can do mild Steel and Stainless MIG/TIG.
