It moves!!! Under its own steam!!
Well, the transfer box is rebuilt and in!!! The handbrake assy is on, along with the props.. Oil is in, the muffler is fitted so its 'stand back' time!!!! :D With a turn of the key and removal of the chock (handbrake linkage tomorrow eve), we're off!!! Momentarily forgetting the welded gear, welded props, etc etc etc, I find the right foot buried to the floor and I'm off up the road at what seems fairly fast!! Gearing is nice and tall (first is needed when taking off), and 5th has things flashing by at a decent rate with engine revs at a high idle.. (Just ask Yorkie!!!! He was daft enough to sit next to me on the second blast! :D) We were both hanging on as we flew down the dirt with no rear body, no roof, no doors, no engine or gearbox covers.... There will be a video soon! Think its time to finish it off now. Jobs still to do.. Fit the D2 Air Governor which controls the compressor (Thanks Nick for the advice.. Ebay came up trumps at $20!! Cheep I thought.) finish the air pipework, investigate why the brakes are not as good as they were.. (Vacuum issue), refit the rear body, doors, etc etc etc, and then we'll do a decent blast! :p
