Very nice Gord. You make it look easy.

...and I love your new shop! That's what I need.

Oh my - Gordon, that's a beaut! Must have been a ton of work. Great to see this truck saved

As you can see I have the photo thing solved. Pieter Bergman and many others in Europe have take as bad and better C8a truck to restored condition , so I'm just trying to keep up with the crowd. Marvellous little truck to drive.

That's a lovely truck....well done Gordon.

I am also very jealous of your work space!

Thank you Alex, the new work shop is so nice to work in, lots of room, good insulation and excellent lighting. The old shop was a bit of a dark hole, poor lighting, poorly insulated and crowded. Gives me some place to play on long winter days, should have done it years ago.

As an aside to the HUP, the body number is 935, so an early 1942.

....and up to your excellent restoration standards.

Replacing the clutch disk on the C15a..... a real night mare on a cab 11...... will write up my trials and tribulation inthe hope of saving some ones time in the future.

Cheers

Hi Bob

Trying to remember how many bolts have to be undone to get the doghouse off on Pattern 11? Think for clutch job is is just both seats, battery box with supports, and the rear of the dog house. Can't remember if you have to pull the side panels as well.

Be fun to have a time lapse of the process.

Cheers Phil
