MY HYMAC 580D REFURBISHMENT

Post #1 by newjcb123uk » Wed Dec 16, 2009 1:27 am

As many of you know I have a few items of classic plant in my own personal collection and one of my absolute favourites is a 580D that I am now finally in the last stages of refurbishment. So here are some pictures of her - :)

I will add each stage as it happens. :angel:

This is her in the workshop after getting a good shotblast and primer applied - few touch ups and ready for the paint soon - going to use 2 pack for a top quality show finish :P

Yes must do the thread on the 5C restoration - The second one I sold was a cracker - should have kept it - Damn :evil: However I've a nice 806 to refurb for myself so looking forward to that in the near future :P

Here's a sneek preview of one of the 5Cs 8-)

Thats the track machine for me! I have first option on a 6D in Dungannon. Two problems though. If I buy it I wont have the work to justify having it. Secondly, if I buy it I would never allow myself to sell it.

Chris did you buy the 3d in Dromore you were talking about?

Hi Chris
Looks like one of the best looking old Hymacs around in those photos against most of the ones out there. How old (new) is the 580D then ?

looks like you still have abit of space in the yard for a few more ;)
