Its getting there
I've been rather lazy and dropped off the adaptor plate templates at the local metalworks to be drilled. £10 saves me a good bit of work

A lot of the jobs are quite small like fitting the shocks and oil changes they don't take too long as its just the bottom shock mounts I need to do, oil wise we'll see just how stuck the filler plugs are though! Everything is already drained......
The big jobs are finishing off the gearbox adaptor plate (I've been smart here though and sent it in to be drilled for me)
Wiring and welding in the mounts in the right position will take the longest same with plumbing in the rad properly, making a custom gearbox tunnel and custom wheel arches as I need +5 1/2" just to get over the main tread never mind the sidewall lugs!
LOL, I was going to say prioritise the stuff which it needs to run and leave the bling
Think its all essential
Wipers, washer pump and rock sliders aren't needed as I can run roofless for MOT if needed and slider wise I have more than enough clearance now to get away with it on the lanes!

Kind of! Had a major set back with the callipers needing to be removed and replaced with new ones!
This is what remains of my to do list, a lot of bits have been ordered and are en route! I want to get it 95% done by the end of next week with just the transfer box to fit when the adaptor is finished off. Few small jobs and a few large time consuming ones but all in all its on track even if I've had to mess about with the supposed scheduling, as you can see I've jumped about to different days because of parts breaking or missing :doh:

I'm very slightly starting to panic, as my list doesn't seem to be shrinking!
