Today's effort
After lots of wire brushing and painting i got the axle on and painted the brake shields and put 'em on with new nuts n bolts
Painted the hubs and drive members, rebuilt them with new bearings and new brake drums and shoes. Then a moment of great joy......
Got a wheel on
Then the other side
This is the furthest it's moved for years
Even managed to have a sweep up
Front springs are on and I'm knackered
That's me done in
Got to finish rebuilding the front axle now and chuck that on.....

I hate to point this out but you appear to have two sodding great holes in your chassis!

Goot the front axle on today...
Rebuilt the front hub and sheared a bolt off
Another one to rebuild
Another wheel on (bargain wolfs)
For the first time in about three years it's a rolling chassis
I'll get the bulkhead out of the shed tomorrow and give it the once over.....

Nice to see that you've found a use for those holes in the chassis
