C8A HUW restoration in Greece
At February 12 we took delivery of a veteran C8A HUW truck, after a lot of months of negotiations and waiting. Thanks to our french friend Philippe, all went well, and our dreams came true!
The adventure to the magic world of HUP's had just began! Some photos of the first days in Greece. _1_DSC_0241_800.jpg_1DSC_0265_800.jpg1_DSC_0267_640.jpg The truck is in reasonable condition, but there is a lot of work ahead for everybody. We have desided to go on a ground up restoration, to give a new life to her. From this point I'd like to thank Hanno Spoelstra and Allen Tooes, a former HUW owner, for their help. Today, we removed the nose and upload the engine. All went well according to schedule! Kostas (continued.. )

Welcome aboard
Hi Kostas
Great to see another of the HUP family being restored. Looks like you have a very good starting point. How is the running gear and engine? Cheers Phil

My compliments!
@mr. Phil,
I have to admit that I feel myself "lucky" for two reasons. The first is that the time when I was looking to get a local C15 or a C15A from a very few and tired remained here, appeared out of a sudden that HUW for sale infront of me, and the second is that at the SAME time YOU have started the overhaul of your legendary HUP, so your progress -presented so wisely at your site- is a big course of lessons, not only for me, but for every MLUer.. Feel absolutely free to make any comment you like, I will read you with great respect... Nikos (L) and Fanis(R) removing the nose, the radiator, a help of a hydraulic jack , the crane. We decided not to remove the cub, before uploading the engine. Made a mistake? 1_DSC_0335_640.jpg1_DSC_0359_640.jpg1_DSC_0390_640.jpg1_DSC_0394_640.jpg

More pics!
Some more photos from yesterday's operation of uploading the engine.
We planned to pul out the engine in two stages with the help of a small but very strong crane. Finally, we got it! The 235 engine was out in the open air! Third foto : Nikos(L), Kostas(M, Haridimos) and Fanis(R). 1_DSC_0396_640.jpg1_DSC_0400_640.jpg1_DSC_0413_640.jpg1_DSC_0422_640.jpg

Keep up the good work
Hi Kostas
Glad to see you are making progress on your HUW. Been working away on my HUP steadily but sorry to say have not kept up progress postings on MLU or on my own web page. But your work and others this summer is prompting me to get caught up on posting the Overhaul process on my HUP. Cheers Phil
