Thread: Shorty - my 1952 80' Series 1

Hi All
I have 2 types in my collection, been rubber with re-enforcing.
both about 2 inches square, one type about 3/8 of a inch thick the other about 1/2 inch thick.
cheers

Busy day (now time for a beer ) I have finished the fuel tank and fitted it. Very happy with the end result and I shall be even happier if it doesn't leak anymore
'

I even got time to modify the front cross member so I could fit my new prop shaft.

All done for the weekend. Missed the horse race (you get that) but the bumper is on Shorty now and looks great.


Ian - I am as happy as a pig in mud mate

It took a bit of mucking about to fix the ends of the chassis. But once that was out of the way I only had to get the holes in the right spot I shall touch up the paintwork around the chassis and spring hangers during the week and then get stuck into sanding of panels.

Hi Troy
Gee I am over the moon
first time I have seen trainer wheels on a Sir's vehicle.
I finally proves what a old digger always knew
with training anything is possible,even Sir's!!!!!

I managed to put some wonderful runs in some of the best finished paint i have done
much rubbing back I will try and try again
cheers mate

Well said Ian - I have been waiting for that.
Do you know that it was only recently that I have been allowed to work on it unsupervised I just needed a SNCO to keep an eye on things

A bugger about the painting mate. You must post some pictures soon though, I am looking forward to seeing this.

Well the day trip is over (Wodonga - Bathurst and return). Thanks Justin for your help mate It is very much appreciated indeed All the best to the family.

Now its time for a beer (or the like) and to put my feet up.
