Default Progress today

Thanks to the kind assistance of Cameron Reed there has been substantial progress, with most of the sheet metal now removed.

Default Unloading Trailer

Hi all - this has to be the slowest and hardest way I have ever seen to unload a trailer. Haven't you got a crane?

Default Unloading

I like to savour it one little piece at a time.

Actually the reason is it's going to the sandblasters once everything is cut off.

Makes sense not to double handle.

Default Sandblasting

Hi Keefy - hope you have plenty of cash. Over here they charge between $150-$200/hour for sandblasting. We are in the process of building a small shed so I can do my own. I already have the pot plus a cabinet blaster.

Default What a blast

See you in 8 hours and 39 minutes (according to Google Maps). Do you give discounts for MLU members?

Can I have it back looking like this please?

Default Help

G'day there Keith,
Glad to have been of some assistance, amazing that what looks to be a bit of a basket case with a few hours work just removing the worst of it, how you can see it transform very quickly into something that is very salvageable albeit with a little work. A little panelbeating here and there combined with a bit of blasting will see it ready to start the reskinning (FUN) part, any other help is only a phone call away
