Pots I reckon polished or black

Decided, Polished it is, Gotta look better than plain old black :)

Yep, leave polished ; gives the engine a certain 'aged' charm :)

Great thread btw :clap2: Keep it here until the engine is out of the blue one :)

Re neighbours, I have a defender and so does my young neighbour...he is very enthusiastic but also a tad noisy etc ( I can live with it but it has caused an amazing amount of anger:argue: from the neighbour opposite resulting in police called and now both sets have fitted cameras monitoring each other :eek: )

Cheers :)
As above I've made a decision I'm going to polish them.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm never going to make the neighbours happy, So why try anymore, As I've said in the past I don't go out at daft o'clock in a morning or stay out late and they still aren't happy.
Don't think it's anything to do with the police, I was always under the impression it was a civil matter?
Either way, They aren't going to stop me doing my hobby, They're the ones harassing me. Watching me out the window whenever I move.

Keep it hear until the engine is out of the blue one.
Hmm, What like this :D

You're MAD end of :p :D

:D I think I'm quite normal :eek:
 
Well it's been a bloody while since I updated this.
What have I been doing?
Ermm, Absolutely nothing :eek:
Obviously the plan was to cummins it.
So with this now not happening I wasn't sure which way to go.
Decided to think about if for a while and decided I'll just stick a tdi in it.
By this point I should have received a log book. Which I hadn't.
Thought it'd be best I don't go doing much until I know what's happening with it.
Still not got one to this date :mad:
So still not certain what to do yet :(
Although their is talk between me and my brother that if we do sort the log book issue out. He want's to stick a 6bt in it :D and he has it for himself.

But today I wasn't doing much and I'm sick of their being axle bits here their and everywhere so I built the front axle back up.

So, New discs and pads, Seals and gaskets, Track rod ends, Flexi's and a few new bolts.
Just need to make a couple of brake pipes up.
Some times I wish I didn't want everything nice and clean.
Just ends up costing me more money :eek:

No hes now seriously worried as hes reading the thread on 300tdi tuning and has just found out you can get 200bhp from a 300tdi!
 
Hmm greasable track rod ends.... those common on fenders?

Oops, Forgot to reply to this:eek:
But what the others said, some come with them, Some don't.
One of mine has and the other hasn't.

mmm nice axles... sometimes i wish i could just let you fix mine mate!!

Aye, Sometimes I wish I could just tinker with lr's all day :)

looks like Aaron's fell asleep in his engine bay...

Ha, Sounds about right :p
But in all honesty I've stopped because I've never received a logbook.
So not sure what to do, Either try and apply for a logbook from the DVLA or just sell all the bits :(
The last thing I wanted to do was rebuild it and not be able to get a logbook off the DVLA and basically be stuck with a pile of scrap
