Back again with latest update - took short break to carry on construction of l/weight speaker bins + tinkering with my dalek (who??)

Oh my bod - he's killed mini






Ok - trailer is now on its slightly battered, dented, scratched roof (after all it was stolen/recovered ) and I'm sorting out the holy mess on the floorpan.

Got a panel beating set + uber sucker job to remove those unwanted dents.



I'm loving this - ok, my hands are even more damaged and full of burns, holes and bits of metal but so what. Its better than watching paint grow or grass dry.

you should be alright now you have 3 hammers

[dekz2uk]

today managed to "collar" some s/steel channel that was being skipped - 3 x 4metre @ 65mm + 3 x 2metre @ 50mm.




That's the undercarriage sorted for trailer - also got off fleebay reversing light/alarm to fit on back of trailer. Emits loud "peeping" sound like a reversing lorry - legal requirement for trailers abroad, I'm told.



Go to work this weekend on "A" frame etc. Watch this space!

[dekz2uk]

Got out suspension axle and tried lining up - OOPZ!!!! Battery box in the way so bye bye





Next up - start sizing up base framework to take A-frame & suspension.



Seal up battery box hole.



Getting dark, better weld up framework, so here goes.



Tomorrow's another day - more to do then.

Here we go again - Sorting out rear end this weekend (no I have got piles ((of money)) )

Probable solution - It's right height and with correct reinforcement it'll work - gotta dig out full-size sheet now.

Shelved previous idea - new stronger mounting method as below.





Looks the biz - need to weld up now and fit deck - eh voila!!




Getting 12 x large bolts and stuff from Bee & Screw tomorrow. More to come peepz.

[supastu]

[dekz2uk]

Went to Bee & Screw - how much??? Bolts, washers, spring washers & nutz £20+



Cracked on - lining up axle, drilled holes, bolts in etc. welded bolts in place (just to be sure ) then on with the g/fibre to seal up holes.



Phew! enough for today - more fun to come soon.
