On the way to it's new home, about 400m away.

A few minor repairs but keeping the original paint, Andy, and it's going much lower.
First jobs are to free up the front hubs, it's on dollies at the moment, and a really deep clean due to the interior being smothered in gearbox oil to preserve it and the rodent nests in the headlining.

Looks so cool.This thread, in the words of Fontaines DC - 'gonna be big'.
Still trying to get the unit organised. Mid rewire and I definitely need more shelving.
At least the deluxe is in.

But this one will be done properly.
Told :lol: :lol:
And so it begins.
Started to clean and strip the deluxe today of all the dirt and sand, gearbox oil, rat shit and rodent nests it's accumulated since it was left at Blake's yard in the 70's.
A bag of kitty litter to soak up the spare wheel well full of oil.

After an hour or so with a plastic scraper I got bored and tackled the headlining.
Face masks definitely required at this establishment, and I really can't describe the smell.

Rodent nests, full of turds.
Just a mask, Dave. I'll be wearing full ppe next time.
No, just a pair of battery trays at the moment, and the engine bay tin wants replacing after it was cut out for a small block Chevy engine.
Despite the turds it looks fairly decent, a lick of paint required!

Paint? :shock:
Was going to ask. Are you leaving the paint work as is? Maybe clear lacquer? Looks a great find.
