Wonderful
Great work Andrew, and thanks to the original discoverer Mike Kelly. If not for him it would have been scrapped years ago when the yard in Ballarat was cleared after the death of the scrappie who owned it.

Plates

And no, new unallocated bodies did not have an ARN. Best to check anyway! So the Holden plate is missing from the left side of the cab as well?

Collection
That's a good collection of finds.
Interesting to see another variation of the roof supports on the cab 12.

And what if the owner of above vehicles is an MLU lurker and sees his vehicles for all to see without his approval?

Had to move the first C8 in the yard on the weekend so while it was on the forks I thought it deserved some much overdue love
Chassis repairs almost complete Looks a much more viable project now

Repaired rear end riveting and replaced bottom fish plates
Finally found rivet supplier number (misplaced ) only to find he only did up to 5/16 .... Other suppliers couldn't supply round head rivets or if they could very limited numbers in odd sizes ...... So ordered a batch out of US in preparation for next chassis or similar repairs . Makes for expensive rivets

rivets
Hey Andrew
You have to buy yourself a lathe. Rivets should be easy to make . What grade of steel are they ? Mike PS the guy down the road here repairs and rebuilds boilers , he plays with steam traction engines and he found a lot of old rivets at a railway yard somewhere . I can ask him where to buy them.

Not sure what grade of steel they are With the price of round bar in Aus it still works out cheaper buying them in .

An old railway guy said you can make a snap by using a large grade 8 bolt, , heat up the bolt head to a bright cherry red and hit a steel ball into the head to get the dimple
