Howard's border raid

5 Attachment(s)

Howard,Lee,Greg and I spent a very hot day yesterday breaking up a F60L (extra long) that a mate of mine had bought a couple of years ago with the plan to restore it. Howard wanted the cab and axles and I wanted the radiator, engine, gearbox and tranny case. 1/2 went over the border to Ganmain and the other 1/2 stayed in Victoria.

By lunch time we had the trailers loaded and were on our way to check out Tim's DUKW dunking at Lake Kangaroo out of Kerang.

Hanno, the weather was so hot we couldn't hold any tools that had been in the sun, so we just got the job done so we could spend the afternoon driving Tim's DUKW's. :thup2:

:cheers:
Yep Hanno, it was quick work... despite a couple of handicaps...
Handicap One: The truck was located at the rear of a pub, and we arrived the night before!
Handicap Two: Just how long does it take someone to prepare you a breakfast of BAcon & Eggs? (Bakery feed was good quality, but s l o w ...
Handicap Three: As EMcD said, the tools got so hot, you couldn't pick 'em up! And using a gas axe on the day wasn't that pleasant, either.

Euan, tell 'em what happened when you cut the fuel line with the oxy! :yappy:

OK, it seems that when you cut through a plastic fuel line that still has old fuel in the line, it tends to drip and burn for a while. You just pray that it puts its self out before it gets up the line to the fuel pump. :nono:

Keith, what about the coke bottle? :doh:
