    So the Cruiser has this going on: leaking around the windscreen and ~*rust*~. Rained 129mm in 24 hours before this photo.



    So I wanted to put it in my shitty small single garage because it turns out I cannot afford a decent sized new one.



    Of course it did not fit into my shitty small single garage. The limiting factor was the height of the door/frame (also furniture)



    Some crowbar and sledgehammer work later





    And a visit to the local hardware store for timber and hinges, then knocked up a set of these



    And hung them



    And now it fits. Fucking just. Out of the rain though!! But no room to reasonably work on anything.



    Also I got some replacement windscreen hinge covers from a junked BJ74. New production ones don't fit, they're too wide

    gadgetman and 223nut like this.
