Sorry to hear that Mike.
Another short afternoon at the workshop after a long day at the Post Office. Polling cards to deliver to everyone over the age of 18 on my delivery, so loads of extra work.
Kev's due back tomorrow, so I'm not touching nuffink mechanical till he's there to supervise. I'd like to think I've got a reasonable mechanical knowledge, but this build's been pretty complex & I hope I've learnt a little from each person that's contributed.
I arrived at the 'shop today just as Mr Lunatic & his side-kick, Archie were rolling the truck out into the sunshine. Although there's a slight mis-fire on one cylinder, it's firing up & ticking over quite nicely now. While I munched the sandwich I'd bought for my lunch, the chaps took the Pop for a gentle trial run around the yard ...O.K, they thrashed it mercilessly. Thankfully, the brakes seem to be holding up alright.
I know I'm biased, but it does look pretty cool on the move.
Not much else to report at the moment, so here's a few snaps of it, doing laps of the yard with Loony at the wheel & Archie ridin' shotgun.

The elbows out the windows aren't just to look cool -the doors have a habit of popping open unexpectedly at the moment.  |

Anyone who wandered into the yard was shovelled into the cab & taken for a spin around the block. Big Darren tries the passenger seat for size.

Seat's fine, but the roofline may need a little work. This is why he's called Big Daz.  |

When the chaps had finished playing, I finished the afternoon by folding up some sheet steel to form a loose change/house keys/sunglasses tray. There's a lot of empty space under the top of the gearbox tunnel, so I may as well use it. Somebody's gonna have to clean this thing now guys. ...*sigh* I guess it'll be me then. |
