Right, seein as how we int had a conversion fred for a bit I thought I'd start mine.
So, after droppin the Doris and the kids at the mither-in-laws I went to my mate's farm where me 90 is. Started her up- first time inorl seein as she int been started for about 6 months- and then shifted various machinery parked in front of her and moved her into a free bit of shed.

First few piccies. Bonnet off, wings off and start to disconnect all electrics, eggsauce and props.

If I get more time on it and can be bothered I will keep updating now and again.

something i never quite understood... how do you get to the bolts that secure the wings to the bulkhead? is it a case of squeezing your arm in there?

Once you've taken the wheel arches off you can get a socket with extensions in there.

A few more piccies.

Spreading the chassis to drop the gearbox cross-member.

From the pic mate looks like you forgot the clutch pipe:D
May I ask why you took the gearbox out, is that being changed as well?

Nope, clutch pipe flapping loose. Putting Disco transfer box on so might as well take it all out and it's easier to align engine and gearbox out of vehicle and put back as one, I reckon.

Only a little bit further yesterday. Removed transferbox from disco gearbox and fitted new input and output seals. Drilled and tapped two new holes and swapped the handbrake linkage from the 90 transferbox and split the 90gearbox and transfer box.
