Went to workshop today, spent a couple of hrs with a wirecup brush on a grinder. also turned the chassis over so I could get a good look at the underneath of it. Apart from the arse end and behind 1 rear spring mount. It's in pretty good nick. couple of tiny holes at at bottom of chassis below Aframe cross member. Usual place to rot out due to mud & water collecting there.

Chassis turning Pikey style.. 3 pulleys a scafftube and some old rope.

Rusty bits

That's all I found. Beside the rear section that has to be replaced anyway.

Edited for accuracy. It took me 8 trips to the tip before I could get at the chassis and lay it flat.

Also there's the problem of the door. It's only 3ft wide

So feck knows how I'm gonna drive it out once it's finished :frown:

Total spend to date:
Trailer Hire Free
VAn Hire Free
Chassis £100

MacAllister 115mm Angle Grinder. £20

I know the grinder is crap BUT!! I've got a 100mm Twisted wire cup brush on it to get the rust off and clean chassis. & by the time I've finished with it, it'll be fooked cos the cup brushes fook em up big time. & As I got it from B&Q I can just take it back and get a refund.

Been to workshop again and done another 2 trips to the tip. Have started making an hole in all the ****e upstairs. Got rid of a couple of caravan Awnings and a stack of caravan cushions. I've had all my books and personal effects stored there. But Damp/mice/dust has got to a lot of the stuff so need to bin a lot of it, Shame as all my books are there & they is started to curl up and go mouldy.

Loads of camping gear I'm not gonna use anymore can go as well.
