Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

[Grizz1963]

So today I took the day off with Sally.

Bootfair, followed by washing her Corsa and the S10. Then off to the appliance store.

I need a new washing machine, my typical brand is Beko, and I tend to stick with simple function 8-10kg machines.

Tha last one lasted over 10 years, and still works, only problem is the handle on the door has become partially resistant to opening, and my lodger nearly has a melt down when he has to do his laundry.

So I tried to order one instore…….. NOPE no stock.

Sally spent her motorbike and recycled stainless steel finds, buying a new cooker for £740.00 delivered, ouch. But she is happy.

We were home by 13.30, lunch, then Sally put a chair out in the sun and I grabbed a couple of bonus hours on the Rezin Rockit.

But not before her youngest came to show off his freahly MOT tested Corsa.

I like small cars……..



So down to the garage and onto the rear axle, plan was to scrape old paint, rust off.

Messy.



Eventually ready for a bit of media blasting.





David, the current longer term Lodger was having a cigarette in the garden and took a short clip too.

I have a shortage of air, and I suspect there may have been a blockage in the line that @pauly will explain later.

Once again, weekend over, and to be honest, though I got a lot less achieved than intended, it was a good weekend.

Week ahead is a touch busy, so little progress expected.
