Re: Happy burfday to me !!! - Meet FFRaggle
By: Mrs Gadget Date: June 6, 2012, 7:59 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Well the decision has been made, I've finally settled on a name
for her. She will now hence be named FFRaggle. It was a close
race between Walting Matilda (Mrs Stueys good suggestion) or
FFRaggle, but I liked FFRaggle as she's an FFR and 'cos
FFRaggle Rocks (and I'm a bit of a muppet)!
I suppose I'll have to get a new dog and call him Sprocket too.
The work has now started to get her up & running, we fitted door
tops to get her a bit more water tight , gave her a good jet
wash, freed off the hand break, gave the engine a quick manual
turn over and took out the two petrol tanks to have a look at
the chassis rails & assess the state of the tanks. So far I'm
pleasantly suprised at her general state, and the engine seems
free, however I'll need to replace:
- the near side front out rigger (got),
- top bit of the bulk head on the near side (got)
- both bulk head feet
- outside bits (between door hinges) on bulk head
- both foot wells
- both dumb irons
- rear x member
- hand brake lever
- electrickery for the motor
Fortunately most of the above are available as replacement bits
- so lots of grinding and weldification to come. :eek:
Many, many thanks to Mr Cooper and Geomat for donating the tilt
and bits for the sticks - with these she'll be watertight. (and
I can return Lucy's megga lorry cover she's currently covered
in!)
Will keep you posted as work progresses
Mrs G :-*
