RAFA's new purchase and Build.

Ok stripped out the back. Was gunna ditch the split rims (too many bad memories farming) in favour of something sweeter. But then discovered 6 new tyres. So my mind won over the heart. Lick of paint tonight and we have started.

Also got all shelving out (not required ) and added some padded tiles to take vibration out of what I carry. 3 packs from bunnings and have the floor covered.

More tomorrow. Phew. ImageUploadedByMotorculture1374574770.159285.jpg

Rafa, re that single turnbuckle - I would use the type with the locknuts if you have one. I nearly lost a bloody boat to a turnbuckle without locknuts and the vibrations slowly working their magic on them. Mind you, your matting might help, but I have been burnt and wouldn't trust them. I'd also use two on each end for that matter...one each side.
