    Perhaps they are being shipped to the Ukraine... trevor

    Looking good and I am looking forward to seeing more! Since there doesn't seem to be a lot of useable cab left, you must have a lot of tinwork to do? trevor

    I suppose you could ask whatever body it is that is responsible for the sign, as they should know which bylaw or whatever governs that road. trevor

    Hi, you have made some great progress! I some things have been floating around in 2 of the cylinders at some point in the past and left their marks! trevor

    Nice bit of tinworm there Still, if the rig on the back is OK it might find a new home? trevor

    Ah ha, and wifie has been saying that she has never been to Bydgoszcz! Now, just need to check if they have any Zuk vans, she wouldn't be able to say no if there are... trevor

    Wasn't me! I just wish I could even convince wifie to go to one of the worst UK ones...:undecided: Sadly, our rare visits are too short. trevor

    We pass a similar model of 469 every time we head to the bar, here in Lublin. trevor

    Well, the video says it is a Liberty truck, but I am guessing it isn't? trevor

    Many years ago, as an apprentice mechanic, I used the wrong length bolts to fix the gear on the camshaft of a Ford 105e engine, and then managed to snap the legs off the camshaft retainer when I turned the engine over. Ever since then I question why an engine is not turning over before applying muscle :-D (and sorry to the Ashford branch of the South Kent College of Technology - it was me who broke the retainer...:blush:) trevor

    I don't want a carrier any more, I want a GPO Sexton! trevor

    What about the, I think, Bedford RL that used to sit in the compound behind the gatehouse for the main entrance to Rowcroft Barracks in Ashford, Kent with a row of what to a young me a row of bullet holes across the front? Probably late 1970s. A distant relative of mine is reputed to have tried to steal a small anvil from the barracks while he worked there in the 40s or 50s. It fell through the bottom of his sidecar while he was approaching the guardhouse, and so he pretended that his workmates must have put it in there for a joke. trevor

    Ah, thanks for that, I know Slough trading estate quite well! I wonder if there are any pictures of 'the dump'? trevor

    To my very carrier-untrained eye it looks like a battery mounting bracket, but I suspect it probably isn't. trevor
  15. GeePig
    What signifies it as a carrier air cleaner? Is it just the brackets or the size of the unit as well? Oh, and by the way, I think it is way overdue for a spot of 'compressing and expanding until all the dust ceases to be ejected' :-D trevor
  16. GeePig
    Kind of like what you do to protect the inside of a fuel tank? trevor

    Rebuilt by and for who? Military or civilian? As to the engine, I am sure there is one lying somewhere in a scabby piece of outback, just waiting to be found... trevor
  18. GeePig
    Well, that looks like 'fun' to get at, but it must feel good to see the progress as everything turns a red that is not rust trevor

    Ah, so that is where all the crashed cars they used to import from Germany went, we buy new cars now. It's getting rare to see a Polonez on the road these days, or one of my beloved Zuk vans. trevor

    I have never seen that done, though it is worth bearing in mind that a rough surface can allow things to flow faster and will have a greater surface area to absorb heat from a hot fluid. As to painting gearbox interiors, I could see that as being very useful for old, porous castings, especially if you didn't want to paint the exterior surface for originality's sake. Does anyone know what Toyota uses to dip the castings in? trevor

    Tax discs, I almost got a bit teary eyed from reminiscing... So quaint! Trevor, in modern, tax-disc-less Poland
  22. GeePig
    Yes, but so much less fun! Trevor
  23. GeePig
    It is so tempting to put all kinds of things 'flying' through that hanger :-D trevor

    Not sure how many of us know much about floaty things, probably because they are harder to drag home and hide behind the shed... I hope all goes well, though I have no idea how one goes about preserving something so huge! trevor

    Ah, finally, found the film I was after on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0zieGfrFYw It is in Polish, a comedy, from 1960, about a couple who get married and have a plot of land on which they wish to build a house - except that there is a huge mound of earth on the plot.... Well, it is about a buried tank. Fast forward to about 25 minutes (and also see a rare view of a Communist era beer kiosk). Trevor
