Morning Everyone,
Well what a day yesterday was, up at the crack of dawn to go on a road trip with my big Brother and our associated ladys to go half way across the state to pick up the above pictured chassis from Scott, AKA FFRMAN.
Upon arrival at Scott's it was clear, I truely am a NOOB, after picking my jaw up of the ground and wiping the druel from my chin introductions were made.
The chassis was inspected and work begun removing the springs and axles. The engine and firewall already removed by Scott while we were in transit.
A few stubborn bolts meant we had to cut the rear spring shackles, and a stuck fast rubber wouldn't release the front passenger side spring, so into it with the 4"
Not long after the basis for what i hope to be a wonderful project was loaded securely onto the trailer, a shame there wasn't room for something else
About 8:30 last night we all arrived home after quite a long day.
I can't thank Scott enough for saving my project, for I dare say that without spending a fortune I wouldn't have been able to continue. although the scope has changed from " a tidy up, oil change and rego" to a full "ground up resto" I'm hoping my first time efforts will do these wonderful vehicles justice and enable me to gain the skills to do it all again in the hopefully not to distant future.
Thats it for now,
Nick
