Another C60L Restoration
I decided it was about time for me to post my restoration. I purchased a C60L from Ryan on the 26 Jan, 2014
IMAG0156.jpg Leaving Ryan's Chassis model: 8443 Cab model: W048 - Supply Truck Date of Manufacture: 6 5 43 15509 miles on the clock restore 4.jpgrestore 1.jpg On closer inspection the Cab had some deep rust spots but overall I was very happy with my purchase. The stripping down started immediately with my 15 year old son leading the way. restore 5.jpg

As the strip down continued I started finding and buying the parts I need to complete it. I also started doing lots and lots of research.
restore 2.jpg At Corowa I picked up the left hand side fuel tank, spring bumper and other assorted parts. I also took lots and lots of photos and measurements of Robs excellent C60L workshop. IMG_0652.jpg I was able to secure my own workshop body and picked it up the following week. This blitz workshop body had been refitted to fit the R.A.E.M.E.International Mk.5 Workshop Truck, but the changes are very obvious and I should be able to easily change it back. restore - tray 1.jpg restore - tray 2.jpg restore - tray 3.jpg

Lucky for me, this blitz still had some of the little things that I need.
restore 9b.jpg restore 8b.jpg I went to a auction last week and there was only one blitz item. But I forgot to tell the rest of the bidders what it was.....  Bag 1.jpg Bag 3.jpg Alas I have a bar and bolt fitting and I now need hooks.

The Bag and steering wheel
Tony, the bag is probably a little fragile to be making major alterations to it.
Last night I started stripping the hinges off the doors, and fixing them up. One of the hinges is broken, but I got the important bit from Ross Prince and now need to pull out the pin to fix it.... any suggestions on how this is done? Today was a rest day, so I sand blasted the steering wheel and gave the metal work a undercoat. Having lots of fun with this.
