this DB 990 i came across by chance at a local farm when i was a farm contractor .......
i found it abandoned and looking somewhat sad in the corner of a field
thus after coaxing the engine to life ( had to use easy start AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH) and paying the farmer scrap price it found its way to my employers yard where after a 4 hour steam clean it looked thus ......
twas at this point i wondered what the hell i had let myself in for
it was more a case of what actually worked than what didnt ... no hydraulics worked, no power steering sytem working ( yes i did liken it to a damn tank and after a rather hair raising road test decided i really should do something about getting some work started on it ), the brakes were somewhat useless and the seat was about ready for the scrap
my ever present father just shook his head and walked away
