This has come such a long way in such a short space of time. So a massive pat on the back for that a lone. The result is nice.....very nice 👌. Those 80s style decals are very similar to what I have in mind for my truck. Still....that's the least of my worries at the moment.....I can't even decide what colour its going 🤔🤔 Anyway....top work! The design and execution of it all is fantastic. It's one awesome car transporter! It was almost three weeks worth of 10 - 14 hour days. Great, use it as inspiration to keep going! Thank you

You should really have cleaned it back to bare metal where the cone part of the nut bears on the wheel before you fitted them. Not only does it stop it grabbing the paint like that, it prevents the wheels working loose as the paint between the nuts and the wheel gets broken down by the clamping pressure and the heating/cooling from the brakes. You need to check them for tightness ASAP, and ideally, take them off and get the paint off. 100% - Clamping surfaces of wheels - just metal to metal - front and back. Clean the conical seats and any contact surface on the rear of the wheel back to clean metal. a Smear of anti seize will hold off corrosion. Great, thanks for the input.. do you have a suggestion of what tool piece i can use to do this without risking any more of the paint around where I am doing it?? Great idea with the anti seize.

Shame about the paint on the wheels. You should really have cleaned it back to bare metal where the cone part of the nut bears on the wheel before you fitted them.

You need to check them for tightness ASAP, and ideally, take them off and get the paint off. Yep, this is the plan when I am back home next on all of them. Got a good idea of how to bare metal just that section around the nut and not risk the rest of the paint around it??

It's 5 minutes to split the engine from the box then it really is light. Just take air cleaner off of there then undo the starter motor (two bolts) then undo the 4 gearbox to engine nuts give it a little wiggle to separate the engine and box and you are done! Get the flywheel lightened too whilst it is off. Worth it for some slightly peppier action.
You'll want to do this anyway to at least change the sintered bronze bushing for the input shaft anyway. If you have to change the clutch go for the genuine Valeo (£85 here in the UK).

the old mans were bakers in Friesland... which makes it my birth right to eat as many cakes as I like. Any cake, or is your birth right limited to local Frisian delicacies such as sûkerbole, Fryske dúmkes, oranjekoeke, and krûdkoeke? ANY AND ALL CAKE.

This does beg the question as to why, if one French vehicle was broken, the other wasn't sent up the hill for shifts and giggles... Shane about the breakage, but that's racing I suppose. Glad you got the transporter done in time, looks great You know I almost did. But we were both heading overseas in a few days and had a mad amount to sort out business and home wise beforehand so took the wiser decision to get back to Devon that night and rush less into the travelling and subsequent work. I wish I had stayed though. RRG is my favourite event of the year. Actually the year centres around 3 key things and RRG is one.

Not sure how I missed this. I’m in now though. 👍 Have you weighed it yet? STILL haven't weighed it. Need to get onto that ASAP to at least sort my numbers OCD out. Will do in a month when I am back onshore before we mega roadtrip it up to DJ Racecars...

Digging the FRL sticker on the back of the cab. Yes the Motherships side is landed Gentry where as the old mans were bakers in Friesland... which makes it my birth right to eat as many cakes as I like.

Epic work, would be the perfect transporter for my Extra van I love your Extra van. You need to get in the Master Mk1 car transporter game. I've seen two candidates this past week for car transporter conversions...

Ok! A mega sleep last night and back up there masking at 10am today… EAT. SLEEP. MASK. REPEAT. The giant locker here just after two more coats. Working backwards on the passenger side of the truck. And the opposing side. The small locker infront of the fuel tank locker. Quite a few imperfections and dings, but realistically here it's a commercial, I have limited time to do anymore to it and I will end up bashing it into something at some point. I'm happy with where it is now. And there we go. I put two coats on leaving perhaps half an hour between them, i tried to keep a much wetter edge (I almost sound like I know what I’m saying - I don’t, I’m learning as I go) than the initial coat yesterday and thinned to 15% rather than the 20% yesterday. This helped fill more small imperfections including the sanding marks from last night. Relatively happy with today. So tomorrow... - get the truck outside under it's own steam - I've been pushing it around in here on my own as I didn't want to kick up lots of dust starting it up - look at wiring up the rear lights - reattach the neons - seam seal and paint the interior of the metal work on the passenger side - mask up and seam seal - or tiger seal - between the deck and the sides - paint the insides of one of the smaller locker doors - paint the outside of the locker doors you can see in the pics above - paint the outside of the two closure panels from the passenger side of the truck - wet lay 2 more locker panel back sides (one with high temp resin as it sit's near the exhaust) - wet lay 1 locker backboard (not started that one yet) - have a think about soundproofing the bonnet, fixing the gearbox and maybe even look at the 2cv which has been loaded up since Goodwood!

I know - One day we will actually be able to go and see it instead of rushing round trying to make all of the various elements run smoothly Loads more runners and riders still to see I’m just scratching the surface here with people who paid up promptly and made my life super easy in terms of the hill climb bookings I half tempted to do a drop outs thread for the cars that applied - got accepted and then were unable to proceed due to mechanical issues or other factors but that might be a bit cruel Make it happen.
