Thanks Wib, and thanks for donating all those bits and pieces to my project, and letting me take a close look at your chassis. Those measurements will help me recover my next big lump from Big G.
Have a nice trip to Scotland.

The base of the rear bump stop?There is something rusted away here,
Hope your axle is savageable, but they are prone to rust through by the locating bracket, even on road going vehicles. The casings are approximately 1/8'' thick around that area so any rust pitting getting on for that depth could decide your course.

I know I look a pratt, but I'm so glad that in this day and age, with the un- faltering invasion of health and safety into our lives, we blokes can wear silly clobber and not feel that we are out of step with the modern world. I for one am so glad, cos I have such a low pain threshhold. If I caught my hand with that brush they'd hear me screaming in Longbridge.<br><br>

I should paint this right away to prevent immediate corrosion, I'm going to leave it on the workbench overnight in a locked workshop and picture it again tommorow, what do you think, will it still be grey, or light red brown? there's still some traces of corrosion in there, but lets just see.<br><br>

Some amazing progress going on here

Ear defenders and a dust mask are a very good idea too.davidmiles wrote:I know I look a pratt, but I'm so glad that in this day and age, with the un- faltering invasion of health and safety into our lives, we blokes can wear silly clobber and not feel that we are out of step with the modern world.

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

You are right alex, as soon as I start on the larger bits the rust dust will be oppressive and potentially harmful, so yes I will add those items to my already alien like appearance, It'll get the kids chuckling if nothing else.
