another adoptee
Not much has happened on the F15 over winter this year as my time has been spent on our house which is being renovated. But I was given the oppurtunity to purchase another Ford Blitz from nearby Geelong recently. And I just can't say no. The running gear and 20in rims and tyres also came with it. What a great body, look at those curves.

still going at it
Wow, things have slowed to a crawl on the Blitz. But I'm still at it. Still working on the chassis, and playing with the cab. And still coming up against things that just stop me because I just don't have a big enough spanner or socket.
At the very start of this thread I mentioned of the "rewarding process of restoration", well I'm still in the bloody frustrating part of it. You live and learn.

Big nuts
Let me guess... steering wheel and pitman arm nuts? Or is it the hub nuts?
There's not a lot on a Ford CMP over 1". Usually you can tell because someone before you has used a cold chisel and hammer. Quote:

hahaha
Hub nuts keith, your on the money. I've got a bloody big shifter but it misses by a mil or two on the front hub. I guess the good thing is that super cheap and repco have sales on at the moment so I'll have to go in and have a look.
Rear axle: ring spanner or socket? On a different note can the brains trust ID this 4cyl diesel sitting in a Blitz?

Bloody big shifter
Try this instead for the rear hub nuts... it's the correct tool.
