Thread: Magilla's build

Looks like a good buy too, pretty sure the freight would have killed me though to the bottom of Victoria

Unreal. I'd give my left nut for that and the frame. Shipping to Canada, lol?

One of the benefits of being a volunteer trainer in the local emergency service is I can set the exercises. The most recent one I set was the controlled roll over of a vehicle using two Turfor winches and vehicle stabilisation.
Just a coincidence this activity happened at my place......rust repairs are on the way soon.
Then the other half of the team can repeat the process

the first cut is the deepest

So we've fixed up the rust in the underside of the chassis. Conducted another SES training exercise and put him back on his wheels. And now its back in the shed waiting for a couple of cracks to be welded up and the top rail of the fire wall to be repaired......and maybe waiting for the nights to warm up SW Victoria isn't the most pleasant place to spend your evenings in a shed. ( mind you I still go out and ride my mountain bike in the dark and rain.........not right in the head)

Top channel off firewall. The cancer in the supports and the rest of it doesn't seem to be too bad.

Hi magilla

Hi Back in.
Yes I wouldn't mind another firewall, that would be great. Not so much for this project as i have a new section to weld in already, but for Katie, I suspect she will need one some time down the track
