Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project

More progress.....

The rules.



Getting the posts cut down to the right height

Measure, use a level said Mickey, I rarely do.



I have had these posts since Boxing Day 2007 when Oldbus delivered them, along with my 1963 Ford Taunus Transit.



A significant OOOOPPPS moment.



Made up some new 10mm thick top plates, drilled and prepped and cut to size.]



Handy having a welder on site.







Decent grip......

Gluing steel



Posts welded, and put on foundations.

Only one problem, the tall one is facing the wrong way by 90’ as it would not seat on the foundation.

Problem to be addressed.





Posts are heavy enough to make them a two man lift.

Managed to damage the thread on only one.

Another thing to correct later.





One other job Andy did for me, was to weld together my stainless steel BBQ grille which had deteriorated over the last 10 years.



I did help........ honestly.




End of the day.....

Weekend over.
