My family is = pulling me away for some vacations soon which will limit progress over the = coming weeks (best vacation for me would be a week in the garage on my = own....). I found a lot of mud inside the chassis so I cut openigs into the girders = and at the rear of the rear cross member to f=F6ush it out. Cutting the bent = front dumb iron off revealed quite some distortion of the girder. Luckily my little hydraulic toy helped to make it all come straight again. =20 http://groups.msn.com/TheSeriesOneGarage/ulricossi80inchproject.msnw?acti= on=3D ShowPhoto <http://groups.msn.com/TheSeriesOneGarage/ulricossi80inchproject.msnw?act= ion =3DShowPhoto&PhotoID=3D3807> &PhotoID=3D3807 http://groups.msn.com/TheSeriesOneGarage/ulricossi80inchproject.msnw?acti= on=3D ShowPhoto <http://groups.msn.com/TheSeriesOneGarage/ulricossi80inchproject.msnw?act= ion =3DShowPhoto&PhotoID=3D3808> &PhotoID=3D3808 =20 The third picture is from a donor vehicle I found in the Austrian alps = and went to fetch it yesterday.
