Just spent my first three hours working on the TA
Prop shaft is off :
But the old girl still wouldn't budge
Took off the near side drum and it was fine with good looking shoes :
Found the problem on the off side with the drum being almost welded on
Time to bring out " Black Beauty " !
The shoes and drum have grooves about 10mm deep in them :
Once I could actually move her away from the wall I finally got to she her rear end - nice ass
Also found a Haynes and a Chiltern workshop manual in the boot :
After lying under her tonight she seems to be pretty solid , one of the rear wheel nuts is stripped but the tyres look sound.
After reviewing all the paperwork I reakon she was last on the road just over four years ago.
The plan now is to have her "recovered" home on Wednesday morning for £40
