Over the past couple of days and with a little help from my friends I've:
Tooken out the old rusty seat box
Repaired the front outrigger
Welded in a new passenger footwell (I hope the NSF wheel still works, I canna see it going round anymore...)
Fabbed a new tunnel front for me new seatbox - the TD5 seatbox is a little different from earlier ones, who'd've thunk it?
Fitted said seatbox, fitted seats (having to drill new holes as the old seat runners are different front new ones)
Re-fitted the handbrake (again, drilling new holes because...)
Now Scratchy don't look like he's been pulled out of a canal no more.
Took 'im over to Crossways and Mark's going to fit a replacement transfer box and rear prop that should get rid of the slaaaap. I wanted to do it meself but there's a laning trip at the weekend, I've still got the front suspension to do and protection/recovery stuff to get fitted and I really should do some work sometime this week to pay fer all this..
Piccies to follow, no space left on the phone at the minute.

got my new fuel tank back with alterations (guy next door took it into work and got it welded up for me)
only had a very short filler neck so extended it with a nice screw cap he found
the outlet pipe was way too low right on the bottom so got that 1 welded up and a larger pipe put in an inch off the bottom, and in a better place to feed the engine.
fits perfect and still enough room to get my load box in as well ,bloody rain must have got on the phone lens

spent two hours in the rain with the AA man - see my introducing myself post to find out why!!!!
Removed trailing arms, radius arms, pan hard rod and track rod. Removed all original bushes, wire brushed and painted with POR15, now ready for new SuperPro bushes.
Removed RH hub, swivel and half shaft. Found swivel ball pitted and seal dead, top swivel bearing dead and wheel bearing tracks badly grooved. Looking at a big bill for new wheel bearings, swivel balls and bearings. I only opened up the hub to nip up the wheel bearings! :doh: Only good news is the CV joints seem OK.
Oh and brake calipers need a good clean up and looks like the pistons might be on there way out.:doh::doh:
Just starting on the other hub now.

As a really new Landy owner, with virtually no know how whatsoever, I am feeling pretty smug at fitting new bushes to the bonnet, bye bye to one rattle two thousand, four hundred and seventy three to go!!!!!! Vent Rubbers next...
