just thought i would tell ya what i have been up to today.
after staggering out of bed at around 12 i decided it is time i start on the renault.
many of you dont know that it packed up in november.
engine decided it had had enough .
so after purchasing another renault of the same age i decided to swap the engine over for this years shows and battles.
after ariving at my workshop i made myself a coffee and sat down and had a look at what i was taking on .
time to start,new engine came out the old vehicle easily .took around half an hour due to the fact that there was not much bodywork to take off the old renault .
after setting down on the cold concrete floor i had a look at the condition of the engine.......great news tis good.
now over to the truck.
where do i start i thought to myself
double bonnet......off ok
radiator.........off ok
footwells............ out ok
now i can get to the gearbox .....all bolts .out ok.
engine mounts ....all off ok .
after taking off the anciliarys i was ready to hoist out the old timer.
horror ..................engine mount broken and unrepairable.
now this is not no ordinary engine mount .have to add to my shopping list.
well engine is now on the bench ready for stripping and donated parts off to my new lump.
..
more to come in the next few days on the progress of the truck.
