'Useless' stock
Narrow minded bastards!
When will people learn. NEVER throw anything away....vintage at least. That's one good thing about the internet I suppose, you can find out quickly that something is worth more than you thought.  Hopefully I can get it with a 'buy it now' before seller realises that though Almost makes you wanna dig up some old rubbish dump..........almost. Don't fancy all those used syringes, tin cans & crappy nappies! On the other hand, you may discover what happened to Donald Mackay!

Some of the stuff
From memory there were exhaust systems, wiring looms, instruments, transfer case power take off conversion kits, windscreen glass, Chev distributors, rear shrouds for the radiator, splash panels for Fords, including the ultra-rare one that goes under the radiator, known as the lower radiator shroud (see section K3 of your MB-F1, top right pic).

Lower radiator shroud
Keith,
Rare you say, eh. I have one of those somewhere I believe. Maybe I post a photo of it...............every time you show that bloody gear boot Did you come up with anyone who will manufacture more of those boots? Put me down for a couple, if you ever get any made!

Gear boots
Yes, Max has gone back to the manufacturer of his ones and has placed an order.
As for the lower shroud... I was pulling your chain a little I admit as I have a couple rescued from Hughes Trading. I don't think I've ever come across a blitz 'in the wild' with one fitted.

I can blast smaller parts again, Yay!!!
Bought a new vacuum cleaner to use with my sand blasting cabinet.
The original one died the death of a thousand farts! Anyone who has heard an electrical motor in process of burning out will know exactly what I mean Today I was shown a set of two paintings which someone had painted during WW1, while their relative was in europe fighting the germans. They are VERY impressive and extremely detailed. More like murals really. I will attempt to photograph these and show them here, when I get a chance. Apparently it was a form of 'therapy' while awaiting safe return home of their loved one.

Nose Panel painted #1

The nose panel is finally finished! With fairly stiff wind gusts and council working on the dirt road (wind blowing my way, hooray!!!), I continued with painting as scheduled. Each coat required a light going over with a tack cloth, and gentle removal of selected pieces of crap. Winds decreased just prior to final coat, which was a great blessing because final coat was mostly reducer with a 'hint' of actual paint. That coat was basically to flatten the sheen further. Cont'd...

Nose panel painted #2
Nose painted 6.jpg Nose painted 7.jpg Nose painted 8.jpg
I think I got all the little bits painted, that go onto the nose. Mine has a removable piece across top where the bonnet sits onto. Lucky I kept the brackets with the larger part. Nose painted 9.jpg Nose painted 10.jpg It was only this morning that I realised the passenger side 'air vent' is missing it's inside handle. Must have been like that all the time I've had it, unless it fell off at sandblasters. I don't give a damn.....the driver side has it's one
