1972 Scamp in New Zealand
Thread dredge…..
aside from scraping more under seal there’s not too much I can do to the body for now,
so I’ve been working on the Ford 8.8 I pulled out of an explorer.
everything looks good inside, so that’s a plus
I wrapped it up to limit the stink, Because there isn’t much that stinks worse than diff oil haha
I drilled out the 3 bungs that hold the long axle tube in and took the diff housing to work,
with a bit of persuasion from the 10t portapower and the gas plant I pressed the axle tube out,
tomorrow I’m going to work at our Drury branch wherethe engineering department is so I’ll use the drop saw to knock 3” off the axle tube, and then work out how I’ll press it back in so i can weld it up, then I’ll be one short axle and spring seats away from a shortened super strong rear.
