weekends work and purchases
On Friday Oxy/ Acetylene bottles arrive from SupaGas.
Removed the smaller hull fixtures and the radiator overflow valve in the air scoop. Removed the drivers floor plate from hull (That was a couple of hours work), held in by several bolts and rust. Floor intact but heavily pitted.
Now I have 2 floor plates to use when manufacturing a new plate.
Visited several garage sales/lawn sales, you never know what you may find. I did buy a stereo for the workshop ($5 outlay with 4 speakers) and also found a flare box that I bought for a massive $6. Got another vice for the workshop, so that will go into the welding bay. Stereo did not work, so in the bin with it, but did keep the speakers.
Bought flash back arrestors after thinking about the volatility of Acetylene gas. Better safe than sorry and the workshop is a timber frame/clad barn. Also bought 2 tyre dollies so that when the suspension is removed the hull will sit down on the dollies and the pallet jack. Should be able to move the hull around the workshop as/when required with the use of the pallet jack.
