After killing my Landy on 28th November 2012, it finally is reborn, huge thanks to Jai & Spitfire without their help it wouldn't have been possible.:D

Today it passed its MOT and it has 12 months tax.

All I'm waiting for is the new custom front propshaft and it'll be finished.


Tempted to come out laning on Sunday, recon I can hold my own with anything on a green lane even with only 2WD.
 
This afternoon has been a disaster! Forgot to pick up some fresh locktite so could not bolt the 4 pin diff back together but heyho..... rarther than go out and get some I'll give the diffcase a wire brush up. Done that without much issue. Well might aswell fit a front radius arms as I have them sitting there. Undone one side all 3 nuts an dbolts came undone no problem but one is rusted to the inside metal spacer tube in the middle and because its polys its spinning no matter how much I wedge it up! (I HATE POLYS)!!!

Much swearing and I gave up had a chill and a drink right will have to grind the bolt off inside the mounts job for another day. Then I set about making a press tool for pushing in new diff bearings turned on my bench grinder and the switch disintergrates and flies out the shed door in 2 pieces. I have a half built P38 converted 4 pin center, a clean diff case and all the bits bar one bearing to assemble it!!

So I have given up and will resume normal work tomorrow time for a Beer! or 10!!

Hi Guys,
