changed o/s swivel seal (the proper way) thats both done now, when cleaning up the brake caliper i noticed a pad pin missing :eek: been driving it around since i had it with one pin in...so managed to get a new one, all back together two new swivel seals, swivel bearings, backplate, both calipers cleaned, greased, brakes bled (one new bleed nipple on one caliper :frusty: )...it's got to be the dirtiest job i have ever done on any car...hopefully won't be done again for a while

Finished putting the floor in the first FFR and fired it up for a drive. First time in a couple of years. Drove like a beauty after I washed all the red dust off.
 
Todays pics. I should have taken a few while I was up the road in the bushj.

After having pressure washed the chassis last weekend i got some black waxoyl and painted the chassis today, im well chuffed as there are no signs of anything more than surface rust even on the rear x member! Now bearing in mind its an H plate with only 76000 on the clock and hasnt turned a wheel hardly in the past 13 months I think thats pretty good
 
got meself some gear oil and made a spout out of a plastic bottle .................and then couldn't get any of the fecking filler plugs out because i'm a feeble girlie:mad::eek:
did manage to fit new super long rear axle breather tho, was already holes in the rear floor where a roll cage was once fitted so just popped the end up through one of them and fixed it by side of rear door:) and only got one lump of mud in me ear while crawling underneath lol:rolleyes:
also hopefully sorted the problem with passenger seatbelt , packed underneath the bracket with some washers and 'stuff' to stop the bracket tilting backwards and setting of the locking mechanism:cool:
 
just got given this !!!
need to have a good poke round to see if its worth restoring or scrapping !!
 
Are you sure it's a 110?? looks like stageone to me? it has got coils all round int it??
 
MMM I'd still go with stage one V8 what's the lever in the centre of the seatbox do?? If it's a stage one it'll be difflock. If it is a stage one it'll have lt95 gearbox.
