Hey up,

Ive got my bumper staighten out, clamped it to the bench at work and used two lengths of angle clamped, one down ether side with screw clamps and left though dinner break, and hey presto one staight bumper. brought it back here to the parents, removed crappy flakey silver gloss, rubbed down with fine wire wool, and three coat of zinc galvy spray and one nice neat bumper, two days work in total, happy chappy,

Ive finished the welding on the front panel, and brushed some red ted on but came back to it 3/4 of a hour and the paint had seperated from the first coat of red ted which was sprayed on

I'll have a look tomorrow.

also Ive finished my floor panels (apart from drilling fixing holes I'll do this when the bulkhead and seatbox are fitted) just need wire wheel on them to clean them up. These are made from 5mm ali checker plate a neighbour give me a part sheet that was left behind by the last residents who had a 88" series 3, love freebies.

Regards Chris

If you don't have an hoist, put a couple of planks on the roof and use a couple of Ratchet Straps to support the box.

Seriously....thought you had it all stripped off

I tied a towing strap over my roof and used 1'' ratchet straps looped through it to lift it out.

Lowered back in using the same method but with 3/4'' rope through the strap and doubled back through a loop....the friction was plenty to have easy control lowering into place and tied off with a jack under for fine adjustment.

Nearly fooked me back lifting it into the cab in the 1st place mind :crutch:

It is stripped apart from the tub?, Its outside with a hoist/gantry that my grandad made over it, I'll take a pic tomorrow far easier,

Eskvalleyboy · Feb 9, 2013
