Yeah. So. This has been even longer!
2 thread updates in 1 day though!
I’ve had even less motivation to do this thing, but as the old man is starting to do more trade out the unit, I’ve got to make it mobile. Still very much undecided as to whether I’ll end up actually using it, but it needs sorting either way.
Ben also forced my hand into this by offering me a rebuilt box for cost.
A trip over to Penistone (lol) to visit @R20BTG last month to raid his parts hoard. Was great having a catch up and talking cars for a bit.
I’ve not actually done a great deal, but progress is progress right?
Stuck/rusted/rounded lower swivel bolts are no match for the welder.
Lower swivel out
New lower swivel back in
Contemplating life and questioning why I do these things at this point. Upper swivels are absolutely horrible to do, and that’s exactly why I couldn’t be a mechanic. Got bored at this point and just left them in the vice like this. Hopefully the old man takes the hint next week and sorts them out.
I’ve got everything I need now to build it back up now. Once I’m done, it will have had:
Belts
Rebuilt box
New clutch and slave
New shocks
New H&R springs
Bens barely used brakes (which he donated to me after going to Meg callipers)
Inner and outer track rods
Drop links
Stabiliser links
and finally, braided lines.
