Happy Birthday for tommorrow jack....I am on my way round put the kettle on :-D

Today i had to vist my very ill 4 month year old nepew in Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital London, and would like to thank all the very professional and dedicated staff there who put others before themselfs....But this in nothing new for Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital... During world war 2 Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital was in a velnerable position,with the shipping and opposite the houses of parliament, it suffered direct hits from high explosive bombs and incendairies during the blitz with serious damage to its buildings, in spite of this the hospital never closed and continued to offer emergancy treatment..operating theatres where moved to the basment..windows where darkend and taped, dimmed lamp where fitted to all entrances, 30,000 sandbags where filled for barricades, and staff where put on rotas for patrol work during bomb raids. Without electric lights and functioning solely on hurracaine lamps and often without hot water they had to sterilise instrurments with primus stoves...the streets outside where littered with shell fragments and wreckage after every night raid but nothing could deter the hospital beforming its daliy dutys..The doors of st thomas where always open and staff worked under conditions of appalling danger and discomfort, but thanks to there efforts, not a single patient was lost though enermy action...But sadley several staff where killed in the bombing.... A time to rember those who put others before themselfs in even in holiday periods... Lawson

Yer N.O.S. what you mean...but hell its really funny ...lol

Thanks for the pictures Jessie...And nice looking doors on that jeep mate ;-)

Clive I am glad that you enjoyed my posts...I have been so busy of late with work and sorting out my clutch on my Gmc i havent had time to post anymore ...However i will soon in the new year. Its a real shame you never got to meet Jimmy Stewart as that would of been a real honour....He was indeed a gentle giant and a very very brave and cleaver man indeed... Lawson.

Hi all well the gear box is now back in and the clutch seems to be working a treat ...all be it that the ajusting nut has to be turned right the way to the top of the tread??? I dont no if thats how it should be..But If its back any futher back and the clutch will not fully disengage...I had to hire a engine host to lift the gearbox back into place and with the help of Kevin the master technician and Jack and me underneath trying to guide the box back in...it finally slide back into place....that was yesterday...Today i have been putting propshafts back on and linkages...Myself and Jack have been for a good test run tonight to see if it was all ok out on the road and all seemed well....so all that left is to bunk off work tommorrow and put the cab floor back in and sort out where the left over nuts and bolts are supposed to go... :dunno: PS ...If anyone knows about weather the ajusting nut for the clutch should be right to the top please advise....Last of all a big Thanks To Kevin And Jack for All there hard work on this project.....Lawson

Wow what a unique bit of history you have there tony...Please keep us posted about this project..

Well to start off with a big thanks to kevin for his help on this project as without his help i would not have a clue where to start..... :dunno: Well firstly IT WAS REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY COLD.... :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: But we are really tough men and waited for the coldest day of the year to start this project on purpose... and with that sorted we took cab floor out striped all the linkages off the box...then took the propsafts off (tipper prop , winch prop , main drive prop) and other things..then it started to rain....then refreeze again...great just as we planned it.. Well the box is ready to be removed tommorrow and if its cold enough i may just wear my under pants only....You see if you get cold enough when you slip with that spanner and cut your hand open on that other bolt or sticking out bit of metal that was in the way its does not hurt as you cant feel it....So take note of this project peoples and learn from us ok :-D Thanks to jack for the cuppa teas and cakes and pics...More to come....

Nice pictures Jack :tup:
