Hi Mark

Have a quiet look at this page.

Since checking this method of transport is legal here....

Subsequent work on the vehicle has involved lots of things - the smoke in the brakes was due to the front anchor pins not being tightened... and there was another annoying discovery after replacing the rear brake lines and hose - when bleeding the system one of the "rebuilt" wheel cylinders was found to have a stripped thread in the bleeder - the wheel cylinder casting was buggered, so I'm sending a spare wheel cylinder off for sleeving.
Much rust removed and a high pressure clean is scheduled for tomorrow morning.
Other immediate work will involve replacing the HT wiring which is the original 60 year old version, making some new rad pipes, and sorting the fuel system. Then at least she should be mobile.
The left-hand water pump is suspect too.
Further work will see the crane removed and gradual replacement of various old seals in the transfer case, and a rewire. She's currently 12v but the long term plan is to return to 6v.
Later the other rear body will be recovered from Sydney and added, followed by a reskinning and proper paint.
