Just acquired a strengthened rear axle like that.
Going to give it an all-over tap and I may lob it on 'Tommy',
which sheds the odd tear from the diff-pan.
Keep it up, Pete!

The axle breather was blocked and the n/s brakepipe has a nasty
V shaped creviss in it, they will be replaced.
The o/s wheel cylinder was off the front of an 88 so i have
splashed out on a new one of correct sizage
NOS riveted shoes were found in my stash 8)

Damn fine beast Lurch! Your tdi looks good but did you have to
fit the fan or was it a precaution incase of global warming?
Now...pray tell, what intercooler is fitted cause its nice &
neat.(P38?)

As far as strengthened axles, all the series 2, 2a and 3s Ive
seen have them, I guess S1s may be different :-\
The fan was fitted after LATP 12 as he was getting rather hot on
the downhill run home with the maggot on tow, its working of a
thermal switch or should be as it hasn't come on yet.
The intercooler is off a TD5 (T D 5) and fits nicely in the
front panel, its bigger than the 200/300 and much easier to fit
(slimmer), no staggering of the radiator frame which is cut down
to fit just the rad.
Replacing parts should be easy as everything is made to fit
standard parts, ie, no welding intercooler necks etc
I basically cobbled together everybody else's ideas that i liked
:)
