Default Progress

After a little effort helped by my lad, we can now see the wood for the trees and a first assessment of the chassis now I've pressure washed the muck off.

The engine came out with no problems though even the application of heat didn't separate the manifold from the exhaust pipe so it got cut off.


Front chassis is quite clean with no repairs required that I can see:


A towbar has obviously needed this strengthening. That should come off easily enough but the left hand extension has a hole in it. Whether to repair it or as it's likely to come off anyway, just clean it up and leave it?


Left hand rear outrigger has a hole in it. I'll change that:


Right hand outrigger has had a crack in it that someone has tried to stop extending by a 'stop drill hole'. As a result it's visibly weak so that will be changed too.


But overall, it's not bad at all and now I can get at it, the suspension strip starts here.


Looks like I've got my weekend sorted
