the work isnt that hard...todays effort...

the guy in the maroon shirt is one of my best customers..always there to lend a look and get in pics..the way that millard attached the campers was fairly basic back in the early 80s..2x2 wood and some tin amd lots of screws..a snap on reciprocating saw fixed those and we cut around the back of the cab straight threw the wood and screws,unbolted the chassis from the camper and dropped both back wheeels off and skull dragged it out from under the camper...now its some tidy up and wait for the new mule to arrive..more pics soon...

after waiting 4 weeks the transit arrived..sometimes you must be patient if its cheap transport..anyhow it is everything the guy i bought it from said and better..took us an hour to get it running..had spat 2 pushrods on cylinders 2 and 6 on the exhaust valve and had a dud spark plug on number 5...turns out that its a 1980 and has the cast head 250 and c4 auto,which is fine by me as they are pretty much bullit proof.

so this past sunday we put the camper on the transit..things went smoothly and it all lined up..next sunday we will be putting a holden van fuel tank under the back as the transit one was rooted and it was in the way..securing the back down completely and wiring the tailights so we can drive it home and my mate can finish off the other mods we are doing..
