First restoration, you should be proud! Meant to say - love the wheels! Just right for a bit of off roading when you get to the display field.

Sorry to crash the party but those wheels are going to cause you all sorts of problems, they are too springy, the engine will jump up and down violently and because of the short track and width could fall over, the Lister D wasnt known for its balanced internals so needs a rigid trolley. The engine is nicely done though.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the Brass nuts from, I really like the look of them.
