Let me know hwo you go with the brakes mate... I'm on the same boat at the moment!
I got a little while to spend on Flash this weekend, so managed to remove the other section of steel panel from the rear hoop:

I did claen up the dodgy welding on the tub capping at the rear. It'll need more work later on before getting re-galvanised one day. In the mean-time it'll get some cold galv or a coat of primer to keep it from rusting.

I haven't quite worked out how I'm going to work with the middle hoop that is welded to the tub capping. One day.

That's it for now. I put the wheels back on and drove it back into its garage. I need the carport space for the Massey Fergusson that's actually earning its keep.;)
What model Fergie do you have John?, I did my apprenticeship with a Fergie dealer in NZ back in the 70s and 80s ,if you ever have any issues with it. Might have to use some mollasis to clean some the rust off the brain though.(Might work better if I ferment it first.:twisted:)
I also had to clean up the capping on klonk after someone welded something to it

G'day John,
I've followed this post for a while, what a nice job you're doing so far !! I'd have liked to meet you 'n your fascinating project in person when I lived in Perth (as an international student, now I'm back home). Congrats anyway ! :)
May I ask you, what are those numbers on the body ? What d' they actually mean ?
Nice work again.Quote:

They are used as part of the registration (licensing) for commercial vehicles and would have been required as part of it's working history.
The numbers on the side of Flash will be removed one day:).
Were you here on an exchange program? My wife is quite involved with "Youth For Understanding" as a Community Volunteer and we occassionally have students stay with us between relocations. Columbia is a bit far, but I should be in South America later this year for the Dakar Rally in Bolivia (possibly), Peru, Argentina and Chile.
Cheers
