I've got a hot spanner if that's what you mean. I will try heating it carefully at some point.

Spent this evening starting to remove the underseal to make sure there are no hidden surprises...

Was more of a general question when your working on machines was interested in the experiences use of Oxy-Acetylene-Torches or seen few things froze to contract metals just wondered if you needed to do similar at work

Oh right. We have oxy-acetylene bottles, I do use them to expand bottom blade screws on cutting units as they can be a nightmare but I wouldn't say I'm experienced.

Yeah spelling correction sucks, can't believe how bad it can be, android keyboard is bad for it. iPhone better but still prefer old WM6.5 or my notebook .

Well im still slowly pulling her apart, incredibly slow process unfortunately. I was surprised how much fuel was still in the tank on removal; thought I only had a litre in there! Started removing more under the dash, that's a puzzle on its own Shocked

Progress is progress. Imagine how much it's worth when done longer it takes more the value rises

By the time im finished it would be worth 30K Laughing

On a serious note I would like to think; if prices continue to rise, that when completed she would be worth 10-12K...

Wow can't believe it's been a year since an update. Unfortunately it is going slower than planned, mainly due to the busiest year at work since I started. Oh and buying a boat that needs work. We I'm still scraping the underseal off but I have had a boost of enthusiasm ready for winter...
