time for a bit of an update, the build is going way too slow for my liking. the new developments so far are the rear springs and axle all been cleaned and painted, and all put back together, waiting to be put back on using some new bushes. Also have been painting the chassis, am up to the rear cab supports, just got to do some of the little corners, but i'll have to clean these first with a waterblaster or something, as it is really hard to get a brush in there.
also got a co2 cylinder for the welder, just waiting to certify it and fill it up, but it's so expensive.
also might make a workbench in a little shed we have that's empty, will be good to work in when it's rainy, just won't be able to get the whole pickup in there, as the door is on the wrong side and too small

I wouldn't even think of it, but yea, it used to be a horse stable about 5 years ago, before we moved in, and been used to rear calves in and as a chook house since, that's why all the straw is there
