The boss gave me a big wooden crate today and said "Thats to put all of your bits in when you get it out of the shed, don't forget it has to be out in 6 weeks."

Hopefully by then it will be in less bits :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

At least he didn't give you a skip

stutab · Jun 6, 2013

No, the scrap bin is over flowing atm. O well.

Fixed my welder tonight, would have done more but worked late instead.

Couple of pics of the priming from last time.

Shame I can't work on this during work, this is a little project that keped me busy for a few days.

Pulled this out of the nettles broken, main drive shaft snapped in 2

So we got the grinders out

So all finished the mechanics, 2 new bearings new main shaft and new bolts

Ran it up and all worked well. So backed it back into the barn for a new coat of paint

Just a shame I didn't get any paint for the wheels

Had a night on the welder :mil56:

Quite happy with the results.

Need to finish this bit

Then I started poking in the boot with a screwdriver :mil48:

This is the result :screaming_bug_eye_f

And still need to do the rear body mounts

:Cry::Cry::Cry::Cry::Cry::Cry::Cry::Cry::Cry::Cry:

Get some more gas tomorrow then

fett · Jun 8, 2013

you sure chose one

stutab · Jun 8, 2013

It was good when I bought it, shows how much damage standing does.

stutab · Jun 8, 2013

So, after paying between £13 and £16 for a cylinder of welding gas, went in the local hardware store I found today and he is selling them for £9.50

fett · Jun 8, 2013

them weeny ones must be a pain with job that big on?

stutab · Jun 9, 2013

Ye, they not good, but started with gassless so never planned on using them, so close to the end there is no point changing now. All thick metal has been welded with the arc. If I do another project then I will get a midi Argoshild at the start, but think I will save up for a decent welder before the next one though.

kds · Jun 9, 2013

You got a BOC near you ? They do a small cylinder argoshield light cost £20 ish a year rental and about same for refill, holds about 10 or 11 throw away bottles worth. Get a better weld than co2 but not as good as argoshield universal.

stutab · Jun 9, 2013

Thats the sort of thing I needed. As I said, next project big gas. Only spotting on a few bits now then arcing the rear mounts on. I will be doing more today, after I finish re wiring the horse trailer lights.

Was thinking a pastel lemon myself. The way it's going it will be black.

stutab · Jun 10, 2013

Well, yesterday I spent most of the day rewiring the horse trailer then helped djdommyp and killajoules with the suspension swap on his Disco.

Managed to get a hours work on it though, finished the a pillar, didn't like the quality of the welding on it so fetched this bad boy to re do it.

Got some good welds with that

Did a load of sealing as well.

Put the tunnel in as well, more to get it out of the way than see if it still fit. Think I made the bulkhead tunnel a but wider but should fit ok.

KillaJoules · Jun 10, 2013

Good to see we didn't waste all your Sunday :-D

Attacked the boot tonight :mil6:

Started to cut the rot out of the boot, found more than I wanted

(sorry no pics)

Luckily I found some panels lying around

Don't know where I got them from

Some of what I needed was rotten so I decided to make good and turn into a full repair panel

Then noticed the time so I will finish it off another day.

Got my roof rack out of the scrap heap earlier

And do I really need to fit this or can I blank off the pipes from the tank?
