M series Bedford home, the fun starts

80 kph will be plenty for the old Beddie as the brakes/suspension/driveline/steering were all designed for less and you don't want a calamity to indicate where the limits are.

A bit more work done, pulled the steering wheel off the shaft, removed it and the box, cab is ready to lift off....

had to make a "special" tool for the job

the original engine and box is up for grabs, free to good home (or its goin to scrap)

Ok, nobody wanted the original engine/ box assembly on here, so I gave it to ACW bedford ,better than going to scrap too! I have purchased the above gear for the little banger, 202 holden & 5 speed celica box, this should give me a reasonable road speed. Looks the part too

not too much else done, been on holidays to sunny QLD.

Yep, Bogan bikini line

Into it this week (apart from a few days up Slashas way prepping for hay season)

Waiting for the pressure cleaner to come back from warrenty, then hopefully some progress.

Top engine swap scratcha the Holden 6 with the celiac box will be a nice combo with the right diff ratio keep up the good work cheers Bryant

I shudder when I look at your "special tool " that is so unprofessional, its not improvising, its butchery. Whats wrong with a socket.

Actually it does look like a hex nut on that steering wheel could be wrong

Doesn't look Hex to Me, Browny....



Don't worry Scratcha,
I would've been an "unprofessional butcher" as well.. :

I always thought Nessicity was the Mother of Invention..

What's wrong with a socket?? Well, I dunno about anyone else, but in my experience, a socket doesn't fit large completely round fasteners!!

I neved said i was a butcher!, they clean up after em selves!

I call it gettin it done!

Jeez youd get the sh!ts with me HT bolt taps (cut a couple of lines with the hack saw to clean the threads) or the arc welder panel welding, aero start tyre bead seating technique .......

My best one saved a 650 million dollar contract.....true story but not for print
