Hi guys we went up to Newcastle today to look at a new toy. So we have bought another Scammell pioneer sv/2s. It says 1942 on the crane so I think it's a 42 but has the rare large dash board fitted wich is nice, it is in slightly better condition than ours but will need a complete restoration, someone has blasted and painted the front end but it's not a good finish its very original wich is good the cab needs little work but the rear body is pretty rotton. Also the. Govoner control arm is brOken as it Dos not spring back out when you press the cold start button and when you rev it hard and let it go back to idle it cuts out unless you pull the govoner arm back. I will post photos tonight john

started getting some wood on the rear body still a lot to do

yeah there is so many sides to it, i dont know there is so much work to do on the cab...

got part of crane and some other little bits in green today we have chosen a matt olive drab type of green than the more original deep bronze green.

First spray with primer this is the first time we have used an air compressor sprayer and we are quite happy with the results only doing one half at a time.

yeah sorry didn't get back to you, he said that they didn't bother with the double side bit they just did single skin.

pics to show first blast over with needle gun.

thanks :D should be getting some paint on the back body soonish so then we can start putting new wood back on! will get some photos soon just lost the camera at the moment and photos from my iPhone don't seem to upload on to the site

i am restoring a scammell pioneer and as i don't have large compressor i am needle gunning,sanding and wire brushing parts can any tell me the best primer for use on top of surface witch has rust on it?????

cheers most helpfull

cheers but doesn't really give you much info on the wooden lockers being rebuilt. john

also we have started taking the wood of the back body and would like to know if any body has some drawings/plans/blueprints of the rear body and how the wood goes as its been changed a little bit inside along with all the floor missing and that john

yeah we did buy it from an auction but it was held in "general auctions" auction for classic vehicles in Redhill Surrey the auctioneer said he had known the scammell for years. at least we could contact Bob and ask him and see if he has any information about the scammell

thanks Brian yeah we did buy it from a auction but as it was my dad and brother who went to buy it i don't know witch auction, if you know were we could get a crane handle that would be use full as ours is missing. scammell4199 i don't know about the double skin i will as my dad about that

the scammell has been taken away to get the rear axle bushes sorted as it was to much of a big job for us to do not having the equipment and all so will just be working on the rear body fr now untill it gets back

thanks ratfink_66, yeah there is a lot to do but getting something working cleaned and then painted is very moral boosting so it will get finished!

got some of the rear chassis in red today no doing the springs or rocking beams yet as they are going to be taken apart in the next week to put in new bronze bushings on the axel

started the scammell up today and backed out of shed to see what the exhaust sounded like and it sounds brill engine doesn't seem to be making any bad noises wich is good. how can you post videos on here with out youtube links?

okay, yes i have seen your thread, what a beast!
