Today I was given a 2005 car that has been sat for 6 yrs, Its French 500cc diesel Kubuta twin cylinder diesel engine with plastic body work and box section steel chassis and aluminium not aluminum  Brakes are stuck by I think master cylinder as wheels turn ,one did not for a while but that working now after hitting with twatty stick. Just as I finished tonight to take pics of engine and cvt I found a wasp nest, thought it was old till one flew out. Below I have put up a few short vids so you can see progress tonight

Is that one of the cars that you can drive on a motorcycle licence?
Milly does find the weird and wonderful. 😁

What is wrong with it that caused it to be abandoned?
Looks like a fairly nifty little vehicle.

I don't think it's been abandoned. They have this old tradition in Wales that Milly follows. It's called, finders, keepers!  |

The old chap that owned it left it at the garage before his knees were due to be done. I asked him about 3 yr ago if he wanted to sell it but he said would have a think and just recently the garage owner bumped into him and he said to garage owner to give the car to me as he waiting for an op still on one knee still and won't be taking up driving again. I have given it a quick look over and there is a crack right across the roof and in the front wing area and headlamp support brackets rusted out master cylinder seized so it maybe going for spares or repair. I know of someone up in Tregaron so may pass it on to them as they got one still I think. |
