You never muck around do you Colin. Andrew has grown as well.
Great work!

Hi Lynn, yes I do muck around sometimes and Andrew definitely is growing but not as fast as Alex is
  I had a pair of cut down front guards that came off this hull that I was going to discard but I decided to repair with some period steel I had. The bend is a piece of 150dia pipe and I just kept bending it around until I achieved the correct angle.

Anyway they are repaired, Painted and fitted. I started to put my wheels back on and I will be doing the brakes tomorrow as I got my newly machined drums and new bonded brake shoes today. It should be ready to turn over on the weekend. I'm relatively happy with my progress.

Looks awesome! I'm enjoying the progress pics. Having the hull "belly up" is a genius move in getting the exhaust and diff fitted with minimum fuss.
I look forward to your next post. Matt.

It's on its side now which again very easy to install the steering and gear linkage. Also much better to paint the inside. As it has been raining all day I didn't want to take it outside and use my crane so I used the overhead gantry and I might say that it is probably on its limit. I do rely heavily on my forklift so between the two of them it was a smooth operation.
