Day 7 today .... jobs for today, finish stripping every rusty nut and bolt of the chassis with the help of the grinder and strip the axles ready for taking to the shot blasters.
First things first.... a brew......
Drained the oil out of the diffs and then googled a few YouTube vids to find out how to strip the rear axle. Drums away...... but only after some serious lump hammering, screw drivering and wiggling. Back plates off and shafts out. Think that its for the rear axle .. piece of cake ..... No not the mechanicals, I'm talking about lunch ! . While sitting having a bite to eat I consider taping up the end spigots bits (hey technical jargon alert) with loads of gorilla tape to protect them from the blast.
Rear somewhat the same, however couldn't undo one of the tapered flat head screws that holds the brake drum to the hub, even after some heat, hammering, chiseling the bloody things solid..... grinder it is then.
Apologies again for the quality of the photo, I forgot to clean the camera lens on the phone..... right I've just cleaned it so there is no excuse for tomorrow's update.... just glad that the photos were not blurred was I was taking the dash and all the cables apart !
