Wheel bearings & oil seals removed from the axle. The local bearing supplier's shut down since I last went there, so need to find another now.Just booked the ferry for the Dutch trip in April -poo's gettin' real  These might be of use. Have used Simply Bearings for years. Marksman are in Aldershot. https://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/login.phphttps://www.bearingboys.co.uk/Bearings-1005-chttps://shop.marksman-ind.com/ |

Thanks, but I called in at Marksman Bearings in Aldershot after work this afternoon. Very friendly, helpful guys.
Should have 2 bearings, 2 O rings & 2 shaft seals in for me to collect on my day off next week.

Spent some time this evening trying to mask up the cab, inside & out, plus the engine, so I can spray the chassis.
Not an easy job.
I was thinking this thing's getting nowhere -but then this evening Loony asked me to find the photo of the day we cut it in half -then cut the roof off.
It's amazing to think we reduced it to this -then rebuilt it into a fully functioning car that passed VOSA & DVLA inspection, then drove it to Holland!
So I guess it has come on a bit since then.
I bought the rolling shell in February 2007.
We cut it up in November '07.

That brings back memories! New wheel bearings, O rings & shaft seals collected this afternoon. I'll take them into work & get my mate in the Post Office vehicle workshop to fit them for me.

I'd forgotten this photo. Loony & I just about to leave the Hotrod show in Holland in 2013. Loon's wearing the clogs I bought him We're both around 6 foot tall, so this gives a good idea of the height of the Pop after being roof chopped 3+" & channelled by 4". |

Cab all wrapped up & a coat of grey primer on the chassis, inside & out. Really hope I masked everything O.K
B & Q 3 metre x 4 metre dust sheets, £1.99
It's a bugger to paint underneath when I can't jack it up any higher -I'm sure there's bits I've missed but can't reach. Even as I was spraying it, the grey showed up areas I need to go back & re-do. The top face isn't so important as the floor panels will cover it, but I want to make sure the underside's tidy when it eventually goes for MOT.

Today's top garage tip: Don't struggle out from underneath your truck while still holding an aerosol can or you might accidentally spray yourself in the face. Guess how I know -prematurely grey Manky  Almost as bad -don't wipe paint off your face with Swarfega hand wipes. They contain thinners & don't half sting -red faced Manky |
