I dont find a hole but i knew they must have rust behind.
In 2003 had i welded the cabcorner first time on the driversite - so i spent him two new cabcorners to be save on it
i had make sense to do that
right site not in better condition
I didnt hear my wife so much curse in 35 years than this weekend by removing the old paint...
The bad first work of the painter does he cover with a lot of filler
Paint the NP208 for me was an easy job - still not dry paint as we leave the shop
The old engine is also fixed for Transport
Me too but they are very expensive to maintain and also to drive of fuel consumption
He cant deny his past also if he wear now blue paint 😅 inside all BW-Green:
We had several trainings in the past also what happen during drive and load slip or break through. This was always best expierence for people who think load safety is enough with a little wire on an edge
Thanks Mullany you are right - Safety first.
It is build of 4 mm angle and flat steel will be bolt on the palett and fixed with tension belts. The German police are not amused by neglected load secure, for which, how could it be otherwise existing detailed special laws - Ladungssicherung in...
Both Tanks on their place, the easiest job in the tankissue.
another job this weekend as we need a safe transportation for the old engine:
build from scrap iron --- saved me 100 Dollar 🥳 🍻 for more spareparts on the truck
Working on brake lines: Chevrolet is worse than ikeabana = swedish furniture plug art.... good that everything has truck dimensions, because the fumbling is still manageable. My wife has used the time and prepared the tanks for painting
the aftermarket Tankholder is maybe something what...
We changed first time after 125000 Miles but was driven only roads no offroad, no lift and no other extras. But the steering and driving behaviour was at the point of storage bad. So we had done this better some "Miles" before. The result is he got now all bushing, bearings, nuts and bolts...
We wanted to be at this point two weeks ago....
my wife said now we can dance tango again in the workshop, we gained a lot of space back. Especially since we also put the old 6.2 back together in order not to have all individual parts lying around in the workshop.
Now it goes on with the...
Rivets and Bolts on the frame and unter the truck will be covered by Underbody and cavety sealing which come as final step. But you are right it will not solve the problem of the in-sight parts.
Just looking for door handles ... my wife only find new in chrome by several vendors...
Window...
6 Bolts later
Another chrome-issue... 😅
Well she can choose now:
1. I take the new freewheel hubcab destroy the chrome and paint them in any colour she want - but not to forget i have to destroy a new part...
2. She search in our shop the old hubcabs which was painted in the past red and...
Someone is being particularly kind to us. Ordered on Monday and delivered from the USA on Thursday. I am speechless 😎- it depends very much on the part and where it is ordered.
Well then it goes on with the axles after all also if still two parts on their way. ETA was like all of the order on...
Wow the fedex delivery man must be very stressed - he pushed the button "We were unable to deliver your package".... but found this while i open the door.
Since they dont ring anymore as we have in this room a contactless storage, it is always good to control it.
if we not had missed to order...
Leaf-Spring-Crime Time 2nd :cool:
Finally two steps forward than the first delivery... it pass cologne and is now just 35km far away from me on the Fedex Truck.
Hopefully they will not lost it on the last meters to my door 😇 maybe i should sent them a "Follow me" car 🤔
Really fast USA pickup...
Oh yeah i remember the hard discussion before roadapproval as i used just the old Mirrows from the Van Project 2003 as the original wasnt yet paint black
And my wife insist to paint the air-horns black but she was right as the chrome was already in bad condition after more than 20 years. She...
Actually, the frame should be back on its wheels during the Easter holidays, but everything never runs smoothly.
In the end, parts were missing again that were not on our list but should be renewed. 😅
My wife said with the blinky nuts will she not drive this truck 😇 so if i not paint...
I have a tracking number for the redelivery of the front leafspring. I wonder if it will disappear again :unsure: Then the one would habe a pair together... A rogue thinks evil of it :)
Maybe I should have controlled the truck better after i bought him. Driven more than 100000 Miles but I never checked the axle shaft bolts as there was no need for it .... On the rebuild now find this on the front left side.
It must have been noticed in a service before our time because...
