Hop on a plane and I'll set up the trailer tent outside the workshop for you to stay in

Hi All , thankyou Andyrew for your offer of help . Thankyou also Scottie Donkeychomp . Just an update .
The Upol Gravitex white Schutz is ordered , I,m picking up the Ep90 and antifreeze Friday .
I,m going to Aldershot Friday morning to underbody wash Helens truck ready for Schutz and load it on a trailer ready for sunday . Will let you know a time soon Scottie . We met scottie for the first time last Saturday , awesome guy with a nice fleet of trucks . Has some interesting friends with some interesting machinery including a particularly nice zzr1100
Will remove all the recovery gear and response equipment from Helens truck and deliver it as light as possible .
our overriding an immediate impression of this forum and its members is one of huge determination and enthusiasm also of boundless generosity .
The light is bright at the end of the tunnel and for that we are both immensely grateful
Helen and Ian
P.s our friend from Poland look forward to drinking cider with you and kicking tyres

Odd, they didn't bother when I did my engine swap. I just told them I'd swapped a G13a for a G13ba and they were happy with that.
That was 3 or 4 years ago though...

If you change capacity and fuel type it's a bit more complicated.
Ian I'll send you the details later.

Been busy last night and this morning
Note to self.... Compensate more for the rear of the Lwb body.....didn't quite get the balance point right
made it interesting getting the body off solo.
Successfully stood it up to save space without squashing myself
And here we have one chassis ready to be cleaned up for a lick of paint.

Looking awesome Scottie , see what you mean about tipping points , please don't put Helens lovely shell on its end lol
I guess its also a bit heaviever wil the hardtop on ? But I,m sure you have a trick or technique ? Anyways the chassis looks lovely and the truck will be proceeding up the M4 tomorrow .
And I hope to be coming up the coming weekend to give you a hand if you don't mind ?
Thankyou so much for your help and commitment in this
Ian and Helen
