A wee bit more done today, i fitted a pair of 3.54 diffs and the
front prop, changed a shagged front half shaft for a good one
and fitted some AVM FWHs, fitted the rear half shafts and drive
flanges. Found that there two types of rad and turbo and only
one fits in a sereis :haha:, luckily i had the other type aswell
so i fabbed up a radiator and turbo bracket as it i couldnt get
it to fit as it was, Andy came round and i looked on Lukes old
lightweight and noticed that to get them to fit, the frame had
to bent out and welded at one side then bolted the other and now
they fit lovely. i loosely fitted the wings to make sure the rad
frame was right and it looks like a Landrover again.

Since Big Chris and Stuey gave me a hand with electrical bit a
few week ago i have been getting on with a few other jobs that i
can do, i have fitted the front brake lines and she now has
matching wings and seatbox.
I have had Blenky put a battery tray in my seat box after which
i undersealed underneath and inside with schultz, while the
weather was still fine today i got the seat box and both wings
painted. The MOD paint was a bastard to remove, even paint
stripper struggled so i just flatted them down a wee bit and
sprayed on top of it. Its not perfect but its blue and being a
new batch of paint its a wee bit brighter than it should be but
that doesn't both me at least they are not NATO green anymore
and they will end up getting scratched again.

The wing looks scatched but i have had a gander and its just the
light reflection on it.

I have also put the roof rack back on and it now sits and 7' 6"
high, i have also taken the tailgate off and refitted the rear
door. The seat runners are also cleaned up ready to fit onto the
seatbox tomorrow and the seatbox can be refitted.
