Framehead(ache)

So the bug went in for the last bit of welding to have new frame head bottom plate and napoleon hat fitted. The way it went was that the body was lifted off slightly to made things easier. This was the only bit of major welding I didn't do myself as I have no electrics in the current lock up. I was sat at work and received an message saying there was more rot in the frame head, I thought the worse and started to look for new chassis as the frame head is a ball ache of job to replace. Any way I went down to the work shop and it was just the beam saddle on the frame head and was repairable. and looking at the job as a whole, he has done a great job.

Rotten Beam

We had a minor trauma on the way home when towing her back to the lock up when the door opened narrowly avoiding a Tesco van coming the other way!

I was away for two weeks and had ago at removing the beam on my own but it was clear I needed a long bar and a fat man to remove the bolts. So holiday done and a fat man turned up this evening with a big bar and we managed to strip the beam down.

It was a fairly productive evening as I also managed to paint the inside floor with some red oxide. The next job is Hammerite the interior floor and frame head and get the torsion arms to work to be cleaned up ready for the new ball joints to be pressed in.
