Hi all,

Ben - took 2 full days with a socket set and a few spaners  & a trolly jack [no power or air up the back of the yard all hard labour by my self], and got most of the wiring loom.
 
Merlin - The rear 1/4s are knackerd, bent and rusted beyond repair sadly. The only thing left on it is the rear springs and some rusty brake lines.

rubbed back the filler prime on the truck and noticed quite a few dings and minor dents so i decided to put in some filler. Went to super cheap auto and got a tin "O" bog mixed it up and slapped it on.........5 hrs later it was still wet? truck was even out in the sun. So i dug it out [really pissed off at this point] mixed up a hotter batch and tested it for hardness prior to making another batch.....still wouldn't go hard.....so then i really upped the anti with the catalyst and 6 hours later still wet.....was hoping to get into paint tomorrow...now 2 days behind....will have to wait til after xmas now!!!!! grrrrr ......musta got a dud batch of hardener
