fitted it quite easily considering I had to make a template and lined it up by eye. I am thinking of sealing it to the wing aswell as it doesn't fit as snug to the wing as my mates true safari. I might see if a big innertube is still in the bin at work and make a big gasket for it to sit against just as an extra seal

inspected it for cracks and splits before fitting it and I've used black silicon sealant everywhere I found any signs of light from the torch I was shining inside and thought it best to redo the seam all the way round it. I have also put a bead round the rivnuts that hold it to the wing and a dolop on the holes before screwing the a pillar bracket to it so the main body of it I am confident is sealed it's just the pipe from the body to the airbox that I need to seal now. the only other point that I am confused about, due to many different opinions and my understanding of how it works, is does the rubber 'dump valve' valve need sealing or, as I understand it, does it self seal when the engine is running?

The dump valve only lets off positive pressure so it should b fine.
 
Picked up a friends 17hh horse in her friends ifor trailer. Apparently, my reversing a trailer is "the tits" :D I admit the smaller the hole to reverse into the better!

Anyhoo this ifor with alloy floor was lovely but my ancient Rice trailer tows better in my opinion.
 
Re-covered the soft dash in my 90 in a lovely leather with orange stitch from Top Gaiters on ebay. Did a really almost professional job! Looks really good, really transforms the interior. Its also very hard wearing and a simple wipe clean.

Also started work on recovering my rear headlining in a nice dark grey alcantara style material. Coming along nicely, few creases on one side but the other side is perfect.

Ill do a pic thread when the interior is almost finished with a couple before and afters too.
 
Finished installing one of the rear benches in the 110. Need some more bolts for the other one now

cleaned painted and fitted the rear mudflap mounts that hold the rear quarter panels so the back end doesn't flap in the breeze any more now just need to adjust the side exit exhaust now the panel is set in place
 
Swapped my oil-spitting rocker cover for a replacement one (originally from a non-turbo). Note the crack in the top of it that isn't there. Did the valve clearances while it was off.

tryed to seal my snorkel and found that when making the template I had missed one of the rivnut holes so it was breathing through it when I covered the top of the snorkel. so took it back off and drilled the hole added some more silicone and bolted it all back together so now pretty certain that it's all sealed just going to wait till tomorrow to let the silicone set and re test it to see if its all good then it'll be a wait for some water to have fun through :D
