Surely it depends on what time your getting married

Evening all, a bit of an update for you though I'm a bit limited on what I can do at the mo due to no welding rods.. Fingers crossed they will turn up tomorrow.. I should be getting on with my 6x6 but can't, so had a play with "Why Not" today instead Starting with a strip down to the bare bones.. The hood and a spare front axle went on so I could take some measurements.. The chassis all marked out ready for slicing. All the above actually happened yesterday, the measuring and marking out took quite a while, as I only have the one chassis and didn't want to mes it up! So today the grinder came out, off came the front.. And a bit came off the back.. I'm sure you can guess what's coming next.. Yep the front was fitted to the back Due to a lack of welding rods still I had to dig out my Mig welder which is ok on sheet metal, but not much good at thicker stuff as you can tell by the blobs of weld! Not convinced that the blob of Mig weld would hold any kind of weight I had a dig about on the shack floor and the bench and found a few little bit's of welding rod like this one! More blobs of weld, only this time much stronger.. It will be fully welded up when I can. The front hitch/axle mount was next for the chop..

I sent a thank you email to the lady who runs the Smallholders Show and received this reply back... "Dear Paul and Wendy, We were delighted to hear you had a super weekend Your display was brilliant I can certainly book you in for next year and with a larger area Look forward to seeing you again soon Best wishes Alison"

Progress so far today. Chassis and trans split. A pile of bits. Just hope I can remember where everything goes. I have taken some photo's but probally not enough. Next, clean up the box and split. Typically only one drive shaft bearing needs replacing. But both will be done and anything else needed. Anything to watch out for as I split the box? Any particular way to do it without bits falling everywhere?
