Not updated for a few weeks now so figured i'd update with something a little exciting, well quite exciting for us anyway!
For the task we had planned we needed the use of the trailer, someone had very kindly loaded it with some nice axles, diffs, prop-shafts, gearbox's and a set off ramps off a wagon, all of which needed moving
Then the empty trailer was towed away to collect some precious cargo, yes the new chassis is finally here!
Any time we use my uncles L200 to fetch any landrover related parts, including the landrover itself, he makes us take a photo, he makes out like he hates them but we all know he's just jealous
Whilst bringing the chassis inside dad decided to go and get the forklift stuck down the hole between the brake test rollers, this meant jacking the forklift up then welding up some box section and chequer plate to recover it
Safe to say with the reflection from that nice shiny chassis sunglasses wouldn't of gone a miss in the garage today
And with most Richards chassis' the first task was to jack out the chassis rails slightly to fit the chassis crossmember in there
Wasn't to hard of a job to be honest
Once in we had a quick run around to fit as much as we could to the chassis whilst we was all over excited, this included the bump stops, rear bumperettes, brake flexi's and the rubber pins the radiator sits in
However I can safely say the radiator has seen better days and will have to be replaced for definite
Also fitted the boots to the +4" shocks as well with stainless steel cable ties, then got a quick picture on the kitchen work surface under the LED's whilst the mother was out :bolt:
And that's it for todays update, will hopefully try and crack on a bit faster now with the chassis here, bit of an incentive to get it finished if anything
