Thread: Little Miss Adventure

he has worked on that series tray for the last couple of weeks...I will have you know

perhaps if he never met you at the pie shop so much to talk about your concrete the project would be finished by now

Working Bee!! I recon BBQ lunch at Lou,s we look at the fencing and BBQ dinner your place to look at the concrete and discuss what needs to worked on

Been tinkering today Ian worked on the tray again and I did some tidy up



Today I rubbed back the front thingy hahahahah that holds the lights and put some primer on once we get this painted we can get the nice new radiator that's been sat around new in it's box for 3 years on



Also we went to put on the doors so we could line up the rear bulkhead ready to tighen up the bolts only to find that we are missing one of the captive nuts on the passenger side in the firewall. So frustrating so have to order some of them now before we can continue on that part.



Also found the gearbox to be leaking so need to go look at that too.

You need to get yourself a few spare cars about the place; they come in very handy for this sort of stuff.

We still have the old firewall so ian was wondering whether to cut the captives out of that one. But as the firewall is still in the realms of being easily fixed someone might benefit from it so was reluctant to cut it up

Hahaha time for the tiny yearly update.

So as you can see we have been keeping up the progress of the worlds slowest restoration hahahah

But at least now it sort of resembles a car!!!

The tray has had a new metal floor put in which was actually done twice as Ian didn't like what he did the first time so cut it out and did it again.

The quarter windows are now in as is the back of the cab. The radiator holder is also in place.

Tomorrow (possibly as tomorrow often turns in to next year ) we might look at putting the hurc liner down in the tray, which we got just to add a little bit of durability and a touch of modern. For those that don't know it is like a rhino liner just cheaper.

We also chose grey coloured liner as the black is not UV stable and we also thought it might be a bit more subtle than the harsh black with the cream.
