Mines from the 60's I think, two people needed to lift it properly! Full of new Shell Diala B too :eek: that stuffs not nice!
 
Yep it'll be getting weighed in if it ever breaks ;) on the look out for a bigger one atm anyway just so I have more choice over amp range

Think a 250 should do nicely if I can get one for about £60
 
Looking good.

Doc, have you considered searching out one of them army mess tents? Perfect for a temp garage and heavy enough not to blow away and they heat up nicely when flaps are down
 
Cheers mate ;) and no I didn't think about that!


I'll see whats on ebay or army surplus store! That'd be very handy
 
Just done the clutch think the slave is ####ed. Bleeds ok and got all air out, fork will
Move with some force minus slave and original clutch used to work.

Going to see about getting a new slave cylinder to fit
 
So got the clutch sorted, drivers wing on, rad mounts modified for the 4.0, new thermostat ordered and I didn't shear any bolts either :eek: :D






New radiator in place












This is the bulkhead, been sanded down properly and painted now



 
costco washing powder seems crap to me, never cleans. works well with fairy as a fake swarfega though :D
 
Stuff in that tub wont be doing much washing :p its a mix of oil and some coolant that accidentally fired in there when I took the plug out!

Be using a few ladles of the oil and some derv mixed with tetroseal for sorting the chassis though :D
 
Put the sliders next to the series to get an idea of how far they'll stick out once welded up :eek:





After this I bolted on the front wings and sorted out the radiator pipes for the 4.0 rad I've acquired







Jag wheel fits nicely :D






And now its packed up


 
Looks like them sliders could be on the not legal side as they stick past the tyres. Might need special wide load permit for it
 
90% of the time sliders stick out further than the wheels, no rules on that.

Sidesteps on dads disco stick out past the wheels and that passes every year


Rear custom axle will be 2" wider either side anyway and front 2" wider with spacers cos I'm only making up a custom rear
 
Red will be along to clear things up. But those do look like it could injure a pedestrian, weather you are parked or driving

Click to expand...

Wont look so far out once the new axles on don't worry, worst case is I slice off the step and take an inch off each leg to bring it closer to the main body

But as far as I'm aware they should be fine, wheel arches will end up close to them and they're blunt, no sharp edges
