I don't know-you spend a few weeks away from HMVF and Daisy's practically ready for the road! She's looking fantastic Andy and as many have said a real credit to you. Can't wait to see her at a show sometime. All the best mate and thanks for posting all the pics. Very helpful to see the inner workings of some of the bits. Daz

How anyone could sleep with the constant sctratching of wire brush, whining of disc grinder and slopping of paint - not to mention that irritating hum of satisfaction - beats me!!

 

To sleep per chance to dream of a world full of only Scammell "enthusiasts" :nut::nut::nut::D

Yeah, mad as a box of frogs but I suppose that applies to all of us to some degree. I think TB even has a piece of paper to prove it. (as if we needed any further proof):rotfl:

Hi Andy,

 

Just read Daisy's life story, and I've got to say that is a "proper" job you are doing. Wouldn't worry about how long it is taking, and anyway what's 5 years between friends. She will be the absolute mutts when she is done. Like everyone else I look forward to seeing it out and about, if you have any money left for petrol :D

Any sort of progress over here?:) All gone very quiet

 

Hi Rob , good to see your Explorer is nearing release out onto the highway ! Llandudno must be calling now ! :D Daisy is still ticking along but only as and when work allows as usual ! :embarrassed: Recently beening cleaning up the winch drive gear and replacing the drive shaft oil seal (thanks ChrisG)! Nearly ready for a lick of paint and then I can refit it ! I've got a huge pile of copper brake air pipes that need annealing before refiting and would like some advice on a good method of doing this as some are about 8 feet long ! Look forward to some more video of yours as the weather improves mate ! :-D

Have you been inside that for a look? Was it all full of water like mine? With some kind of cheesey goo floating on top:-X looking good though. I feel we might have to start harrassing you to post more pics of your sneeky underground tinkerings:D

Put the winch drive back on the other week and have been putting a few bits and bobs back on ! Now just got to repaint all the bits I scratched :nut: ! I feel like a dog that enjoys chasing its own tail sometimes ! :D Further progress later this month hopefully when all the "other" activity has ended ! :D
