Managed to get the holes for the lower shock mounts drilled out to accept the lower shock rubber washers. Had to buy a 19mm drill from Toolstation as I didn’t have a drill big enough. Touched up the paint in the holes then fitted both shocks with all new hardware which I think makes a big difference.
After this I fitted both axle limit straps with new nots, bolts and washers. Again, very satisfying to get this finally done.

Started on the brake pipes for the rear axle. I made up replacement pipes after cleaning up the’t’ connector and flushing it through to remove any contaminants. Fitted it with some new, nuts, bolts and washers. I didn’t realise that there were 2 clips per side required and only bought 2. The pipe looks wrong with only one clip. Will purchase some more to finish it properly.

Going to finish piping up the rear axle and the front, then fire the wheels on to get it to rolling chassis stage. Talking about wheels, bought some new boots. I think they will keep that classic look and give reasonable performance. After the wheels are on, I will bolt the tdi engine and box in to finish of the front crossmember. I want it to fit neatly around the steering box and still look as standard as possible

Hopefully I have them on the right way round … Next time I will get the mounts installed on the chassis and hopefully install the engine to get the front crossmember finished…
I know all parts are filthy but this is only the mock up stage, so they will be cleaned later
