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.....

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
