M5 runs again

[Alan K]

A couple of small things to do yet and a little more touch up painting here and there but.....drove it out of the shop. Rebuilt the front end and power steering unit. Steers quite decent. Put in a new clutch, fixed a couple things on the engine. Will need some better rear tires. Not too shabby looking for something that was sitting in a pasture for nearly 15 years. It had been repainted and decaled wrong before I got it. It was missing the black stripe. It is a 1961 model. Runs surprisingly well for sitting that long.

Excellent work, like always Alan!

I know where one is sitting I could get but they want too much for it. Needs a lot. Always liked an M5. Good job

I know how that goes. This one had a Dual loader on it when I got it.
