budder

Sorry about the delay on posting.
I've been busy.

budder

I've refitted the fuel tank with all new hoses.
I also made and replaced all of the copper brake lines some were only on buy a couple of turns I'm glad i replaced them. Changed the oil in the diff. I changed the oil in the engine along with oil filter spark plugs leads air filter. Fitted the number plate light which is from a motorbike so i have an extra light and brake light. The alloy trim is also starting to go on.

I cannot wait to see picture of the whole thing. This is an amazing transformation from the looks of it. And you are not working in an enclosed shop either.

You mentioned copper brake lines ? Copper is not suitable for Hydrolic brake lines They should be steel or special no rust material !Frank

They use copper alloy overseas on a lot of cars.

budder

Yeah we use copper over her. I took copper of her and put
It back on her. ;)

Rickf1985

That is surprising that it had copper on it. They do not use copper lines from the factory over here. You can get it in the parts store as a replacement, most people do not realize it is copper alloy because it is steel colored but it is easy to bend, you can bend it easily by hand. The real steel lines are much harder to bent accurately to bend by hand.

Well I've been busy today one side nearly finshed.
I have managed to get the old coleman furnace working after 10 years of not working. Finish all of the insulation in side. :)

budder

Sorry for the delay it's been raining a lot here.
I've managed to tackle the battery tray and bulk head today.

budder

Now just to clean up welds and seam seal it and paint it.
