SLIGHT CHANGE - LIFE AND BUILD

Well here we are again and we haven't got much done to the Corona Express in the last month, due to life gains, read on and I will explain.

DRIVE TRAIN CLEAN UP !!!!

Well it's been another month or two since the last update,  but trust me I haven't been relaxing. While concentrating on all the frame work lately I had also come to realised that I should turn my attention to the preparation of the up keep of the exposed chassis, engine and the alike.
