The axles
off an old horse box trailer will help make a basic transportation
trolley for moving the Avon around the workshop. Here
you can see them being removed with the help of a JCB
and a Gas Axe. Thanks to Heidi for the donation.

|
There we go, the
basic trolley completed, it needs a frame making and a
coat of red oxide. I will get some new tyres for the rear
axle and then we are away. |

Here is a picture
of the Waste Paper Bin that I warned you I was going to
make out of the Cartridge Starter Shroud. Power washed
and cleaned its a beauty. |

My Car, Seren
the Horse and Arnold the Avon all living in harmony with
each other. Nice. |

Its not often
that you need a bank loan to buy car batteries. This
is
how many will be required to start the Avon. Thanks to
Keir O'Leary at 'Manbat Shrewsbury' for helping me out.

Batteries in place
under the combuster cans, nicely out of the way. |
