Brilliant thanks. I recently had an experience drilling into an Allen bolt, it was an absolute nightmare. Perhaps next time I'll be more prepared.

Well reading this thread I learnt that you should use coolant when drilling metal - so that's a positive :) Any more tips for someone that doesn't really drill like me? Cheers.

I'm no expert but I think under body protection is a good idea - especially if it's your daily driver. If you dent a body panel you can still drive it, if you smash a diff or bend a steering arm/panhard rod then it's a bit different. Depends how wild you plan on going I suppose! Foz

Looks brilliant. What does the inside like at the moment?

Looks great, though! So new and shiny. Great work with this. Foz

Thanks! I plan on keeping it as a toy/project for the foreseeable future so I want to do it as best I can! Foz

I use one of these, still need to cut and crimp wires but only one single feed to power it. Can fuse everthing individually, too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-24V-10-WAY-BLADE-FUSE-BOX-HOLDER-LED-WARNING-LIGHTS-KIT-CAR-MARINE-LANDROVER-/231588204020?hash=item35ebbb8df4:g:LTgAAOSwd4tT9vh6

Done a couple of bits this weekend. As I said in the previous post, I had a bad UJ - so i chose to replace the whole propshaft for ease. It's safe to say the UJ was knackered... Old vs New I FINALLY got round to fitting the extended arch that had been missing since the day i bought it -...

Haha! I'm saving the scotch loks for the really important stuff! I do own a BMW, maybe that's what it is...

Finally fitted and wired up the electric fan. It's just a very basic 14" fan on a switch. Additional relay for fan, wires getting even messier. and now finally one of my switches has a function :) Foz

Hi, Tank guard was already fitted. Foz

As above, check the propshafts/UJs for play - they will cause vibration and knocks when accelerating/decelerating. Foz

Yeah it does have a suspension lift, no idea on the brand of those. I think they're due a replacement one side sags a little. The body lift is from a guy called Wizard, he has been making lift kits for a while i believe and it comes with everything you need - minus the bumper relocation...

2inch body lift.

Wired some electrics for my switches today, and another coat of hammerite in the back. Looking to do the body lift tomorrow.

Didn't get as much done as I had hoped - I didn't realise how long making things out of wood takes! I also got distracted by fitting some CCTV that I had been meaning to do for ages. So this is where I want to build some storage, in place of the dickie seats. I haven't made anything from...

I paid about £27 each with VAT, but they've put the price up slightly since then. Part number - AWR5388 http://www.island-4x4.co.uk/weatherstrip-awr5388-p-14896.html Foz

So, last weekend I was ill - I was stuck in bed all day so just kept buying things! Oops! Rear window seals Window tint film to tint the rear windows whilst I have them out Wind deflectors A 3D printed carling switch mount - found from another thread on here, i liked the idea so much I got one...

Really nice looking dash. Where did you order your switches from? Foz

Very clean, looks great. I like the little pod to replace the coin train - just ordered one myself. Good find!
