After a little more work to get it ready, it was time for Nuggie to venture out of the garage and onto the road, for the first time since at least 2012.

The time has finally come, I need to put on my big boy pants and see if all the blood, sweat, tears and money actually worked.
One of the last things I needed to do before I could look at starting the engine was to refresh the axles and refit them.
Alongside all the big work I have been doing, there have been a few little jobs that don’t really fit into their own post, so I’ll throw a few together here
Of course the clutch pedal assembly had been bodged by a previous owner. Why wouldn’t it have been?
One of the big hold-ups with the Alto was that the fuel tank was… less than ideal.
As mentioned in the previous update, the gearbox needed some attention. Nothing is straightforward, though.
I left off the last instalment with a head on the block, but no oil pump, so I couldn’t finish the assembly.
I haven’t posted much recently, but things have been happening in the background, namely a slow but steady engine rebuild.
Since I’m still waiting on the block to return from machining (again), I moved on to fixing some other small issues.
