Bean, you're not doing my jealousy any favours!
Absolutely cracking looking van! I can't wait to see it being used on the road commercially (in pictures of course).

Went down to finish stripping the rear subframe, yesterday.
These pins just won't come out! :
And, unfortunately, the old doughnuts came out in 2 pieces!
Booked the front and rear subframes in for shotblasting and powdercoating on monday!

Bean, wd40 and a gas torch, heat the pin up then spray the wd40 on it, repeat a few times then heat it up and tap it with a hammer, be careful tho, wd40 is flamable.
As for the cones... i dont know what to suggest for that
Just have to keep hitting it and hoping for the best.

The cones are out now! Just a little bit crispy and broken! 
I think I'm going to leave Kris to do the pins
- I managed to get the nut off the one side, after ages of soaking with WD40 and a little bit of force!
But the pin just won't budge!
The other - I can't even move the nut!

I gave up trying to undo the nuts on the pins on my rear stubby and resorted to chopping the nut off with the grinder, I’m fitting new pins anyway.
Ps. got a pair of cones going spare.
