Here's the old girl resting, as it has for two years. All we've done is get the engine out. Sold that and set about undoing the body mounts. Undid the looms and ripped off the rotten fuel pipes. Welsh winters salty roads
Plan was to lift the body up and pull the chassis out from under it. So we made a frame to support the body onto. A few metres of 50mm box and a welding boy produced this in about an hour or so
I've made it adjustable so it can be lowered down etc if needed.
One of the guys in the neighboring units has a telly handler thing, so bribed him with 20 minutes of sheep action for a quick body lift
While the body was aloft we put the cradle underneath and then plonked the body back down onto it.
Then it was simply a case of pulling the chassis into the workshop via the pressure washer. For this I did a steering mod
Cleaned many old adventures off the poor thing
On the lift and first look properly suggests it's not too shabby amazingly. This is a retaliative term here in wild west wales
The tail ends by the tank are rotten but not needed any more so off they go
Shortening the front next , see you later
