More ####in service items lol

####ing fuel filter on lol

####ing air filter on lol

Old fuel filter was knackered, opened the drain tap and nothing happened, must have been gunked up with crap

Iv started to get some bits together to do the cambelt. Heres a pulley puller and timing locking pins

A needle torque wrench for setting the tension on the cambet tensioner

Then on to some more jobs, changed he drivebelt, heres the old one, was ready to go imo

New one on

7 litres of Halfords finest EP 80/90 GL4 gear oil

First up drain the transfer box

Magnet collection

Clean

Bit of Hymolar Blue on the threads

Old tx box oil

Drained the axles

Refilled

Old axle oil

Then started to get the rest of the bodywork for the remaining wrap, started off with the fuel filler compartment. Sanded all the bubbling areas smooth

Etch primer

Black inside

Looks a bit messy now, but when the wrap is on it will cover all that overspray

Also my spare wheel cover came, wrinkles will fall out over time

My new "diesel fuel" plate arrived so I could put all the filler stuff back on, how this area looks currently

A little drain plug on the bottom of the snorkel

And started stripping the rear for the final push to finish the wrapping

Sanded down any loose paint and corrosion, some of these areas were probably the worst on the car

Cleaned then etch primered, near enough ready for wrap now

RAMBIRKETT · Mar 27, 2014

Keep up the good work! Where did you get your spare wheel cover from?

Cheers Russ

SJW2511 · Mar 28, 2014

Hi, that's a real beauty you've got there.

Can I ask what size the lights are? I'm not sure whether to get 6 or 8 inch?
