       Angus

       Angus is a 1982 SWB 2.25P truck-cab that we bought nearly a year
       ago. There was a lot of documentation and it seems the PO was
       effectively partway through a chequebook restoration. The last
       few MOT's were advisories only but I did find some penetrating
       rust in many of the usual places in the bulkhead, so a bulkhead
       replacement seemed like a good idea at the time. I got a lot of
       good advice re that from the original forum. Right now, Angus is
       in pieces and a shiny Ashtree BH and rad panel are going in, so
       he's not at his most photogenic. However, here's one I did
       earlier, in Naden Valley:

       In a flurry of syllepsis, Angus has at last emerged from
       desuetude and the garage, after just over a year.
       On the old forum I had asked what might be prudent to do while
       changing the bulkhead and got some very welcome advice. As it
       happened, we didn't find very many nasty surprises -- a few
       .22LR cases and a dead credit card notwithstanding -- but
       tweaked as we went. Hence, galvy rad-panel, bulkhead supports
       and sills (the old ones blasted/galvied/recycled), master
       cylinders replaced (old ones cleaned and in a box ready for
       refurb if the new ones die), replaced the heater cables, blasted
       and powder-coated anything not nailed down and rewired
       throughout.  Next job is to wire up the windscreens, put lights
       etc on relays and (probably) swap indicators for LED's, if I can
       find any that don't look horrible.
       And, as of today, we have MOT.  :smilewide:
       To those that helped: thanks!

       Rochdale.
