Met dag019 yesterday as he bought the new old springs from the 2a and is a great chap and its nice to see the younger ones running series trucks, all the best mate :D
 
Picked up a Def / Disco diff for the 2a yesterday whilst at Kelmarsh so just need to clean it, order a new output seal and gasket aswell as order a set of rear Paras and hopfully get them next weekend :D
 
Gave the diff a good clean up and removed the flange and seal ready for replacing as a matter of course as it was covered in oil :)
 
Fitted the new rear diff over the weekend aswell as the rear prop then today I fitted the valve stem caps ( missing ) reset the valves and fitted the rocker cover :D

I will be getting the rear parabolics this next payday as I couldn't afford to get them after going to the Kelmarsh show last month :(
 
I'v eventually got round to ordering the rear parabolic springs and should be here by next weekend so I will fit them in the week as I am off for a week :D
 
Result, the 90 has just been sold and driven away to its new home sad but glad at the same time as we have spent loads of money and time on it but it also means the 2a is now officially mine even though we have spent money and time on it already so now I can spend more time and money on it :D
 
Fitted the new rear parabolic springs yesterday and today I will dig the old bulkhead out to strip off what I need off it then scrap it as its too far gone to have repaired / referbed and getting a new galv one now :)

Spent part of the day stripping the bulkhead down, removed the steering column and box, removed the dash found a couple of switches hidden behind the dash all taped up so they will make it interesting when I come to wiring it all back up but other than that the wiring behind the dash is unmolested, just got to remove the wiper motor and cable assy and a couple of brackets for the accelerator pedal shaft then its stripped but mite get chance to p/x it against a new galv one all being well :)
 
Didn't get anything done today with the bulkhead as son asked me to help him do a full house clean so I will do it later in the week now instead :)
 
Whilst I was cleaning the log burner out ready for winter I decided on getting the 2a out and doing some fresh pic's of it outside rather than seeing it in the garage all the time :)
