Ford GP (series 1) slow build

[lynx42]

Are you putting in a hoist, Mike? It was by far the best investment I ever made. Mine is an American built Bend Pak 5.5 tons (non of that metric tonnes stuff), 4 poster with a 2 ton movable scissor lift to get to the front and rear axles, brakes, etc. I can lift the White Scout Car easily.

A two poster is no good for my gear but might be for your GP.

How often do we get the wrong parts sent because the description is incorrect.

In Melbourne now for tomorrows op.

Regards Rick.

Hope the op went well, Rick.

Some small progress today with what my wife is calling the 'mail order jeep' , as so many parts seem to arrive by mail or UPS! The complete wiring harness manufactured by Vintage Wiring of Maine arrived via the UPS man about an hour ago. Looks good. Comes 'bagged and tagged' so should be a straight-forward installation job as each item is required during the build. Nice job, thanks Mike @ VWM!

Also did some bolting on - the rear bumperettes and the transmission guard support cross member - and 'nut & bolt recovery' ready for future use, while the spring leaves are away being sandblasted. Also some prep work in the yard for the the new workshop build.
