Harris Magnum 2 project

#1 PostAuthor: Padders » Wed May 08, 2013 4:16 pm

Myself and Rick have taken on a Harris Magnum 2 project with J model engine. Delivered to my garage today by Ted and his faithful trailer.

She was on e bay a couple of weeks back but the winning bidder pulled out and Rick worked his magic and negotiated a hefty discount for cash.

Will drop the engine which has been stripped and take to Martin to put back togeather. She needs cables and electric's sorting plus a few odds and sods but we plan to have her on the road within 4 weeks.

I will post pictures as the project moves along.

First two below are as she is today the other 4 are when she was first restored a couple of years back.

I'd like to see some detail shots of the frame under brace tubes - fittings and so on, as I've got a "J" motor for my Magnum as Plan-B if my A1 motor isn't up to scratch :|
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!
