Re: The English are coming! Or..another C10 in the Motherland.
So....
20 months ago Woody's cab was firmly ensconced on his rather grubby chassis. ![]() And #3 son was manning the engine crane as separated the cab from the chassis for the first time in 54 years. ![]() So today righted his Woodship back onto the pallet dolly and peeled him out into the sun. ![]() Pretty happy with that colour match. ![]() Deployed the cab lift collected from @grizz this very morning - thank Martin! And with #3 sons help... ![]() Carefully manoeuvred Woody back onto the chassis. ![]() ![]() Very Very happy with that! So... Why did I plonk the cab back on the chassis? Quite simple really, I wanted to make sure I had the engine back as far as possible before I measured and ordered the prop shaft - Turns out I can go back at least an inch, maybe 1 1/2" ![]() You can also see the Raptor overspray which I am going to try clay baring before resorting to more drastic measures. Which In turn means I can now cut the new shifter hole plus make sure the exhaust will actually fit. Nice. Mr Grinder and Mrs Spring are definitely going to have a second date in the not too distant future ![]() The drivers door is definitely not the original judging by the paint either now that I have removed the awful rattle can paint job... Tomorrows job between servicing #3 sons Mini and repairing the fences will be to move the engine back as far as I can before taking the cab off again to measure the run out on the bell housing, make the exhaust and run the electrical cables from the mid mounted battery box I still have to make... Progress? Nah.... But it made me feel good so that is always a plus point. Until the next time viewers. ONWARDS!!!!! P. ![]()
