== Before Bringing to Space ==
* Replace all seals and serviceable components
** £165 + vat + delivery for a complete set of seals, O-rings, and grease. Need to provide measurements to Clark.


* <strike> Wheels - Tyres are naff. Needs 2x P205/75R15 (6.70x15) </strike>
* Painting with a suitable exterior grade paint
* <strike> Fix wheel studs (Ordered - Wheel Nuts + Studs - £44.12)  </strike>

* Driver - Someone is lined up
** The original colour was Caterpillar Yellow BS G88/0668. Might be nice to get it in original condition.
** The trailer is >750kg so you need a B+E license or a pre 1997 license


== After Bringing to Space ==
* Welding/fabricating replacement parts where required, i.e. wheelarches, reflector arms


* Seals need replacing. £165 + vat + delivery for a complete set of seals, O-rings, and grease.
* Service engine, pullcord needs replacing
 
* Stripping
* Rustproofing/welding
* Trailer electrics sorted out
** Replace the raising crank with a motor?
** Replace the petrol engine with an electric one?
* Pull cord for the engine
* Painting (http://www.hammerite.co.uk/products/direct_to_rust_metal_paint_smooth_finish.jsp - Hackspace blue!)
