Thanks . We just have a passion for what we do , and we don't charge labor as we are on pensions. It is our way to feel like we earn our income, and give back to the people that pay our incomes. We are on disability pensions , so we cant do it as fast or as flash as pro's, but we put our best efforts in.

Now that the area's have been cleaned up, checked and treated, it is time for it to start to come back together.

We didn't get anything done on the brumby today as we were getting ready for a trip tomorrow. Getting a trailer for one car and a permit for another. We also trailed a brumby to the shed that requires a paint job. If things work right, the both will be undercoated and painted at the same time.

Sounds good rick, but those words would be SO much better if there were pictures with the words.

Which words do you mean , that are needing pics. There is a pic of the brumby that is talked about needing a paint job.

Hey Chridk,
Since the trip was washed out , do to road cut by water.

I would prefer not to go for a record. Then again , with the nasty i came across to day in the second brumby, it may go back to one. We will look for 2 more days and see what we find, then it is up to the owner if we continue .

Steve come down Wednesday and put abit more of the sill in. He a came down yesterday for 2 hours but i can see if anything was done on the brumby or not, Ross and i were doing the trip to get my daughters car that was flooded out the day before.

Since Ross and myself are waiting for the metal work to be done , we have started cleaning up another brumby .

rtcb65 · Post by **rtcb65** » Fri May 29, 2009 6:10 pm

The other has started to go in.

lovey80 · Post by **lovey80** » Sat May 30, 2009 11:19 pm

Wow they look a whole lot straiter than when they came out. Are they the same sills that came out and were bashed strait or were new ones fabricated?

Cheers

Chris

That is the same sill. No new metal has been put in yet. All the original metal is magic so far.

rtcb65 · Post by **rtcb65** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 6:49 pm

This brumby wasn't economical to fix, so striped it out and removed the tray to use on this project and the rest was removed to the wreckers the way we usually do , to be used for scrap..

lovey80 · Post by **lovey80** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 8:05 pm

No mucking around there guys. Do you think it will be faster to do a cut and shut than straitening out all the little dints in the tray?

rtcb65 · Post by **rtcb65** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 10:40 pm

Straightening it will be better. The tray cut is the metal for the wheel well to be put into yours. Saves some dollars and it already has the strength with the folds in the metal .
