And what if the owner of above vehicles is an MLU lurker and sees his vehicles for all to see without his approval?

Ah yes, the 'safe' storage location strikes again!

Had to move the first C8 in the yard on the weekend so while it was on the forks I thought it deserved some much overdue love
Chassis repairs almost complete
Looks a much more viable project now

Repaired rear end riveting and replaced bottom fish plates

Finally found rivet supplier number (misplaced ) only to find he only did up to 5/16 ....
Other suppliers couldn't supply round head rivets or if they could very limited numbers in odd sizes ......
So ordered a batch out of US in preparation for next chassis or similar repairs .
Makes for expensive rivets
