thought i,d seen it all but now i have,thought this was just a little cut out and patch in job on drivers door but after removing 6mm of filler we find a plate welded over rust god i hate bodge jobs as the rotten skin underneth has rotted the door frame away

i would say none ??

finally finished the drivers side welding,just tidying up undercoat and spray waxoil down the channels to stop it happening again,5 kgs of mig wire used so far

The correct oil is Dexron IId or III atf. and ep 80/90 for transfer box

transfer case is ep 90, gearbox is dependant on what it is

there is a big wheeled ferret there now that gets less and less as time go,s by

its still not certain whats happening as the numbers crunchers have suddenly figured its going to cost more to move every thing than will be saved so for now life will go on and finaly we are getting some funding to restore some vehicles

we set about moving the workshop today as the collection is being set out in the order of date in service of vehicles as they entered service with the reme.we moved the 40 ft container with the contractor in a straight line,the fodens crane to lift it around corners and ocasional help from the militant,we will now have our own dedicated workshop area to use and we hope to restore more rare vehicles as time allows

needs to be pointing the other way for that,oh for a few he shells

had quite a good day with it today in between sorting out the new toy that arrived yesterday,finished cutting out the rot from drivers side and now start to rebuild it again and get it water proofed

welcome i,m on the hogs back as well

was doing well today with it till rain stopped play

correct b80 carb

its a job ongoing in between the other vehicles being worked on

got a fair bit more done to her today,cut out all the rot from drivers side floor and starting to rebuild it,its like a big jigsaw puzzle of bits of tin

our foden originaly came into the workshop for a clutch and gearbox change in january,But!!!! a quick investigation of the old girl revealed a lot of metal moths had been at the tin work on the cab hidden by under seal and filler so the decsission was taken to do a full restoration on her as we will be using it as our main transporter.gearbox and clutch was changed first bringing a few minor probs to sort out all done then work started on the cab and other tin work and is still ongoing at this moment in time,mechanicly it is quite sound apart from shocker rubbers and track rod gaiters .this will be my blog of on going work and work done all ready

hope fully we will be there with something BIG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

next event i will be at is the welland steam fair with a chieftain arrv but you welcome to come to our works to see the collection

ask what you need to know and we will help you

guildford surrey

welcome i have 3 mungas in various states of restoration

this low loader that took it,was it afairly modern foden tractor unit with a 4 axled lowboy trailer ?

took her out for a clean up inside the hull while the winches are out with pressure washer ,on the way back an odd noise came from the transmission and suddenly no steering,the brakes work if you pull both levers to stop but it will not steer,has anyone got an idea what can have gone wrong before we strip it ??

we are back with the conq after making a few changes to the timing and injection system,its running spot on now,a few links for you
