Haha cheers guys. The old bed was very badly bent and buckled and was just easier to replace then waste hours upon hours straighten it and sorting the rust.

I've jut made these little things which will get welded to the lip where the rubber seal goes on the door frame then the puller will hopefully straighten it out with a few cuts and welding here and there hopefully tonight it will be straight

They will proberly be destroyed when being removed but only have cost me £1 to make 10.

Hiya guys not done anymore body work waiting until I have a door. Which I should be collecting tomorrow. My floor will also be arriving here tomorrow. So today I stripped the engine down.... Well it was as black as black gets it was filthy. So for the next few days on my lunch break I'll be cleaning and stripping the gearbox down and inspecting and making a list to what I need. The block will need boring the crank look ok not to sure until I have a proper look. The engine when running had a lot of blow by and this explains it had a broken ring on one piston.

She's caked in something for sure!! jet wash the gearbox in the rain now soaking wet but the gearbox is clean and is now soaking in a bath parts wash over night.

I reckon farmer must have used old tractor oil to do the mini services haha I've never seen an engine as dirty as this.


On the plus side got a phone call my floor has arrived :P just need to go collect it now

Well I didn't get home until half 12 was absolutely shattered!!

But got the door and a lock set. Today I brought a nice hammer and dolly set.

Picking my floor and inner wings up after work.

So later I'm going to put the floor in just to have a look and get excited about having a floor then take it out just so I can sort the door frame out.
