It’s not a steering protector at all…it’s a hand rail for getting under it/ back out under it when those brutes break down 😎

A glimpse back to the good old days before the sun set on the empire and the whole world was a much happier place 🤔

Chassis. Axles. Brake lines. Lower steering. Engine. Gearbox Radiator Bulkhead. Body. Upper steering. Pedals Loom Heater Wings.

Bag everything small and label the bags, nightmare at work trying to find fasteners/small brkts etc as not bagged/labelled up.

And don't tighten body panels, bulkhead and side frames until everything is lined up and packed/shimmed. Don't ask me why I know 😭

Todays sitrep, timing kit fitted, new thermostat and water pump fitted. New fuel injector pipes and front hubs all assembled, along with drilled and vented discs and a set of heavy duty steering arms. All in all a very productive Sunday.

Looks tidy. Keep everything as whole/complete as possible. Photos of everything. Bag and label everything. Allow triple you budget Allow ten times the time. Have fun Don't throw anything away!!

Sell them there and be done with it. What you make, and save, you can buy one here. Don’t let your heart rule your head.

I lived just outside nairobi in the late ‘70’s and it was reasonably safe then apart from the driving. But what I’ve heard about it over the last few decades, I wouldn’t go back

I'd stay in Africa. Seriously.
