Default Engine Removed

The last couple of weeks I have been modifying my shed to cope with all the new tools and the old parts coming off the truck and the new ones being purchased. While this has been fun, it has distracted me from actually working on the truck.

I took today off work to go for a job interview, after which I stopped and got a new air hose. On the way home I called into Simon Allen's. After catching up on the latest restorations he showed me a seat he had picked up for me.

I had thought most of the blitz seats were the same, but compared to original seat this one is taller and wider in the back. Is it Ford seat?

Simon had managed to get some work done on my fuel tanks, so that was good to see as well.

When my son got home from school he dragged me out to remove the motor from the blitz. My small tractor made easy work of the motor and gearbox, but the lack of subtlety with the tractor's gearbox made me think the tie-down straps would tear. So we put it straight down on to my patented motor trolley (piano trolley and planks) and tried to move it inside. The wet ground made this a test of endurance, but we finally got it inside.

The next job on the agenda is to build a engine stand that wont collapse or fall over.
