Another DAF!

[howard]

Had my "spares" 33 delivered today. Each bit I need is in spot-on condition, which is terrific!

Managed to get it up and running (although noisily!) within three minutes - now to free off the brakes then give it a good look over. Trouble is, it now seems to good to break!

I hate the thought of ripping something to shreds if it can be a good useable car - there's nothing like serious rust I can find.

Will post pictures soon, along with video footage on YouTube of my freshly awakened 32!

I think I'd better take a day off soon to work on it.....

As promised - my first crudely edited etc etc YouTube video. The 32 looks very good - and this is the worst one of the two.

See the state of the new one "SNK".....been cleaning it up all day today - runs, starts, drives. Has precious little exhaust left, but that's quite entertaining!

Will post pictures etc of it's current state soon - I've decided to keep it. Can only find one hole in the entire car, below the front bumper. Can't bring myself to tear it apart if it's that solid!

Thank you Graham, I know I'm a very lucky boy - but alas I have to vacate over the next few months. Still, looks like I am going to concentrate solely on DAF's which is a pretty sound move. I just really enjoy working on them, and driving them too of course!

Don't forget the WHITE one (SNK) is the spares one, not the light green one!

It is cleaning up pretty well - the interior is excellent although the headlining has been nibbled big time! I'm very pleased with it indeed. I am convinced it will take to the roads once more.
