Phill was here last week to remove usable parts from the inter. As parts were removed the heat damage became more evident, the rear axles were banana shaped and the chassis had many twists. I didn't take photos the first day, Phill did take some and they may turn up in the future.

Default Salvage success

Rob and I beavered away trying to save anything we could off the poor old 6x6.

Unfortunately the heat was so intense that most of the mechanicals were completely destroyed.

We did manage to save some of the cabin sheet metal and exhaust system complete, as well as brushbar, winch fairlead roller front assembly tac plate holders, blackouts a tub full of hardware fittings and one seat frame.

I am already in the process of phosfor treating the best parts for incorporation into my other two 4x4 restorations.

Thanks again for all your help Rob so that parts of W11 will live on 👍

Cheers

Phill

Last parts removed from blitz, some may not be usable, time will tell.
Cordless angle grinder and rattle gun got quite a workout, used five batteries for the day.
