Default Finally some action

After what seems like months I have finally managed to do some more work on the old girl.. The cab is off and lots of little jobs done (pics to follow) and I'm now trying to fire the motor up in situ...
I have not been able to do much with her since the accident.. What accident??
Well folks take care with your angle grinders when cutting bolts that have been butchered in the past.. I tried to cut the head off one such bolt and found myself lying on the ground about 2 m away covered in blood.. The disc exploded and the 9 inch grinder tried to take my arm off at the shoulder..!!
BUT .. I was wearing GOOD glasses and the Doc reckons they saved at least one if not both eyes.!!
Its been weeks now and I am finally back on track and I have both eyes.!! Thanks to those glasses (see the picture.!!)
Always wear them even if its for just the smallest job..
Like this one.. Just one bolt head..
Another lesson learned..
