 |
|
My elderley TE1a is pretty leaky, weak and generally lacking in all departments  . I'm considering biting the bullet and going for a rebuild over the next few weeks or so. If I do this, I shall be counting on you Guys for advice and tips  .
Tidying the shed comes first

I tried a similar approach once but things got too scary for me and I bottled it !!!
