working d/cab

Post by brianj »

put Francine to work on saturday....
27 boxes tiles @ 23kg = 621kg
12 packets grout @ 20kg = 280kg
so all in all about a ton up. handled fine all the way home, although the rear left wheel nuts did start coming loose. lucky i heard it and stopped at a garage to tighten them before any came out... or worse.

Sorry, I cant call things I love boys names. SHE is well, been parking in storage whilst I am building garages. I battled to start her last time, to discover the fuel had all dried up, even from the lines. Must be hot in the garage.
The exhaust I realise maybe needs a box to calm things down. Too noisy.
My refurbed rostyles will go on when I can get that done.
Mechanically, she is close to 100% now. Still need to fit the new fuel sender, but all else is good, thanks to Dirk.
