Back from Wales!
Not much to see apart from trailer shots really...
Loading up, strapping down the lashings..
Homemade redneck sliding door to stop the doors and panels stored in the rear sliding out.
All the doors, deck lid, rear hatch, roof section, wings etc stored in the back..
In a lay-by somewhere on the A34 after we lost a lashing - cheap sh1t from egay. It was only the small blue ones I was using to try and stop the bus bouncing around - so not a load baring strap..
Rubbish!!
M4 Services to let the Mondeo cool down and take a whizz. Nice T5 behind with a monster of a car trailer (just out of shot).
Andytowers is in a valley. I was right down the bottom with the trailer still full and after a 7 hour drive the Mondeo clutch just didnt want to know when I asked it to get back to the top of the hill where the road leading to Andy's resto-barn is. Gave it one more try in the pouring rain and it just made it to the top, be that very smoky from the burning clutch!! Got it unloaded and freewheeled it near the resto-barn where an immaculate split that Andy is just finishing for another customer was sitting, so mine had to go outside for now with Andy's single-cab splitty. After much welcomed beers, bit of rock, some catching up and some fish and chips that night, I took these in the morning..
Look how clean the front clip is after the shot blasting 8) I didnt get any pictures of the chassis, I think it was because I had soooo much to remember I just forgot.. But you can actually see what you are working with now instead of all that old hammerite, underseal and dirt. Andy said it should make things alot easier. Although, I think I need a new front beam or get my one welded up, the shot blasting made some holes
oke:
The stuff you do for your bus eh? Still, I got some good pictures of the Gower coast area
