Thanks Adam I've got it covered. haha no seriously.

Here are some more pics from the shed.
The first 4 are of a 253 from my HJ Sandman. Thanks to Ozbox who tells me the engine number has been re stamped after a reco.

I picked up a nice windowless van with a 308.

Max van has a 308H motor in it. Why are they gold? HT HG Monaro?

Ok latest bit of work. Learning so much as I remove, bag and tag all these bits. When it comes to re assembly I know it will be a huge task no matter how well I have prepared myself. But that's the point isn't it.

Took me several hours to work out exactly how to tackle the pull down of the front end. Although I learnt how not to do it.. if I did it again with what I know now I reckon I would still have problems haha.

Now I just need to tear down the diff and rear end parts and I'll be ready to get some blasting, welding and painting done.

Your a mile ahead of those who choose not to bag and tag

Thats what genuine GMH parts books are for.

I would have been lost (almost) without my HJ parts book to see how stuff went back together. The big stuff is easy but when you get into the tiny bits a parts book can tell you a whole bunch of stuff you thought you knew...but didn't...or forgot. Its been 18 months since I pulled the van apart and my attention span aint that long.:lol::lol:
