1954 plunger in gold smooth
« on: 13.04. 2016 23:15 »
after about a year and a hole in my wallet i ve finally completed my a10 plunger project yesterday. started ok but many issues to sort out before i start heading south on the old plunger. i have to thank terryk in oz and greybeard for providing scarce spares which had been previously stripped from the carcass and were difficult to find. unfortunately no documentation with the registration number so will have to re-register with dvla.in the meantime i will try to post photos.

thanks for all kind compliments. there are some issues to iron out; the first being the registration process. this will take a few months at least, then i might run around as it is[scruffy] for the rest of the summer and find some more issues with it. the eventual aim is better paint and plateing. also no oil leaks and going in a straight line. i m not going to slouch though , 2 1960 a10s and a 54 dommie next in the queue.
