What Chriss has to say about his Cub:- I purchased
my Cub last year from a farmer near Devises although it was running
it was and still is very tatty, I am hoping over time to get it
looking reasonable, I dont have a lot of money nor can I do a lot
of the work to get it as good as others on the web site.
The first problems were getting it through an MOT as the wheels
were not acceptable as the stud holes had worn oval which is why
the photos show it with 12inch standard mini wheels, they were difficult
to get hold of, now it has a set of 13inch wellers so it doesnt
ground anymore. I have also painted the floor with a hardwearing
paintlike substance, I have been offered a 1275 engine complete
with discs etc so I have to find someone nearby to hopefully fit
it, when I have it running well I will attempt to get the existing
paint off, which shouldnt be too hard and the repaint useing an
etch primer, I cant afford a professional paint job nor can I do
a lot of the work as I suffer from rheaumatoid atheritis. Anyway
it still is a supberb fun vehicle and a lot better than any of the
mokes I have owned, great fun to drive, Im hoping to get a canopy
to fit it just to keep the rain off. Time and money will tell.
