I opened this and expected it to be a john-d style thread about trying to save a small animal.

Mine, because I need money to get the shell properly prepped before I can start and I don't have enough. And probably won't for a while. It's a shame really because it was fairly tidy before we stripped it but it will return at some point.

Passed the most recent one which expired naturally, so it would appear that list was rectified.

Also no mention of the chassis corrosion on the later tests, bodes well.

Depends if I can afford to keep this one. Discovered a 40ft container full of hay and horse saddles the other day which is a bit of a breakthrough for the extant plans

Re it being dodge - it was the same place again, think it they were going to pass it they would have done it first time around. Not sure, I'll know when I've been under it and also swung off the wheels.
