PASSED !
:tea:

Insurance is with adrian flux on a classic fully comp 3kpa limited policy.

Happy he's roadworthy - it's been 7 months of swearing and setbacks, but totally worth it.

I've Just got a few things to mop up now it's worth the investment.

• Interior trim
• Brake Bias valve needs overhauling
  
• Both upper kingpins need a few shims slipping out - found a bit of play in them
  
• Get some Avon Tractions or similar for the lanes....
  
• Tracking
• Door tops and channels
  

And Now i can start on decking out the tub with all my Greenlane equipment !

Take your time with the bulkhead and footwells - you'll be fine. Invest in a Joggler as it'll make for decent long lasting welds.

Well guys, all finished, apart from a buggered indicator flasher unit.

Got the brand spanking doortops fitted today, finished the Schultz underneath, farted around with the tracking, and tickled the timing - drives quiter nicely now....well, as well as a landy can, that is

Not that i actually did much of the work on the window stripping initially.... my lad kinda took over...

Now the bad news - i need some readies...and pretty quickly......

So, in a bid to raise cash, Smidge is up for grabs - Gutted, but needs must at the end of the day.

He's in the for sales section, and i'd prefer to sell him to a Landyzone member, rather than someone from Ebay - so please, if any of you guys are looking for a S3 landy to love...feel free to drop me a PM

I've been quiet on here for quite a bit - sorry about that.

Things have happily moved forward at home, so the old girl is staying
So well in fact, i've managed to find a V8 to fit next summer.........

Now, whether I put it in smidge, or find another landy to rebuild is another question.

I'm going to keep the current lump, as It's in lovely knick, and I promised Max i'd look after it

In typical Rhino fashion and timing, just as the cold weather comes in.....i'm Currently working on pulling the ****ed gearbox out of Smidge ( Nice one Elwood - Quality work on the layshaft ! :-/ !)- got a lovely one in great condition from... Ebay.... for £51 - practically stole it, really

Diffs need shimming, too - waaaaaaay too much play in the driving flange input.

Found some great tyres from..... Ebay ... I know.... sorry.... for a set of 4 205/80/16 mud terrain I paid £220 delivered.

Jazza.
