fitted new suspension, dislocation cones, extended brake hoses and bump stops, cleaned and painted the diff guards and fettled the exhaust so it sits level
 
put in a new fluorescent lamp on the dog guard cos "I cant read Top Gear Turbo in the back with that rubbish little light"!! And installed the pipework for the water tank that I am yet to buy

chequer plate was made for Stella!
 
took off the solenoid and starter motor, replaced new solenoid with old and put another starter motor in.Fook me its running :D:D:D
 
Well, i made up a very nice throttle linkage for my 2.5 di transit engine and fitted it. whilst i was doing this i made especially sure i didnt lose the little spring which locks the ball and socket joint together.
lovely job, then i knocked the spring off the wing!
and spent a pointless hour trying to find it AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

Glad it's sorted mate.:)

I emptied another 6 sacks of wood out the back of mine. It's like the fookin tardis. I took 6 sacks out yesterday plus todays 6 and there's still another 4 to go. The ballast is using it all week as the chav mobile's in the bodyshop. I had a nasty feeling that she might have tried to roll it with half ton of wood in the back.:eek:
