[D-Train]

So the serial pest did it again last night. So onto it.
Took them from the shed to start on.


The drivers frame is reasonable. But has some issues


An passenger done too.

Tried to save the Og screws n bolts but sorry Henry some gave their lives for the good of the world! (Cold chisel style!)

Mmmm, matching sekurit

With a clean


Seals ordered from das resto parts an on the way. Still a bit of work in them tho, after soaking the vent wing nut for a while an loosening/tightening it to avoid stripping them, they both decided to snap off at the threads, so ill have to weld on new threaded rod.

Visited Wally 2day an picked up this little recipe.


Cook on high heat to get the wheel off, approx 45mins depending on rustiness.
allow to cool.


Remove wheel an place aside for later.


Stir mixture untill a brown goop, swear and think of the final outcome.



Hopefully not too worn or corroded after the inside gets cleaned.

[Leroy]

Nice work mate. That's the incorrect wheel for your bus though, i'll swap you for a correct one

[FrankenCab]

Yeah that's not og so better lower it now

[byronbus]

Not original case now either... oh and your oval has the wrong wheel as well, just saying...

[D-Train]

Yeah, the wheels weren't right so I binned them both. Haha

Half hour work this arvo.

More heat


An apart


Bearings n seals are rooted but worm gear an brass bushes look ok, so ill replace the bearings an reseal it all.

Even the date stamp is close to the build of the car which is good!
