sorry i forgot to post a pic of the rolling chassis
bit in the mean time i have changed the rear wheel cylinders and done all of the hoses and the back axles pipes and then went to sheffield today to pick up my bulkhead, so even more jobs to do!!
some pics:
so i will tinker with the axles and all the little brackets and things this week and then i might think about putting to engine and gearbox in!! but thats getting a bit ambitious so dont count on it!

lolz - it's all about Life Skills - your doing yerself a favour - common sense, working things through, attention to detail.....first aid...patience....budgeting....fadvanced first aid....welding....burn treatments... the list goes on
Theres only so much you can learn when yer out at night in a hoody drinking meths.....:5back2::5bdrool5:
I'm happiest when i'm under/in/on top of/bleeding on/swearing at my landy - i wouldn't have it any other way TBH. Apart from drving it along a boggy lane through what is probably slurry, or another dodgy substance...

right been down the workshop since i got home tonight
last night putting the bolts back on the drive members i found that on had a bolt that was not original and way to big and with a nut on to make it fit and just to finish it off someone had ripped the thread out on the big bolt as well!!
so it just so happens that my dad just had a set of hubs lieing around in the back of his garage and so ive changed it and now all the bolts go in!!
ive put new hub caps and drive member bolts all round, im going to clean and paint up the front drums tommorow night and then i am going to think about fuel tank, engine and gearbox!!! finally
