The Creation Begins with Destruction

It's down to the metal frame ...
Still waiting on parts and materials ... I've got to find some sources to scrounge recycled materials ... deconstruction sites ... cause it sure isn't moving rapidly otherwise. And the front axle HAS to be replaced. excitement of construction!
It's definitely NOT getting there.

Wheels Off !!

The axles and hubs without the wheels.
I had to remove them to sand the rails ...
fix the wiring ...
grease the hubs ...
and work on the brakes.

This is evidence of dog chewing ... or rodent.

This is the worst of the rusted rims.
I have to replace at least 2 rims due to rust.

This is the backside of the same rim.
Both paint and rust are flaking on both sides.

While I was at it, I pressure hosed out the two waste storage tanks
got out the leaves, manure, and glops of old toilet paper.
I'm debating on keeping the largest tank to drain the shower/tub.
The smaller tank will be for the sinks.
