Cheers for your comments chaps , update later than planned but been hard at it doing all the little bits and bobs . Weather hasnt been great when i've been off, Anywho here goes' Firstly all the running gear had 3 coats of highbuild primer flatted and 3 coats of 2k gloss black . Sadly a shed load of pic's from my camera have fucked off on me so you'll just have to take my word for it.
Little piccy of the front xmember . Not done much with the donkey as yet as it'll be coming back out over winter for a freshen up .

rear arms and springs look a little like this now a long with my spanking shiney painted dampers


Wasnt happy with my last attempt at the front hubs so stripped them back and started again . however there hiding behind the disk and caliper . I tknow it looks nice and shiney thats all that matters , (so my mummy tells me ).

Also spent many long and depressing hours cleaning the burn on shite from the many crevases (spelling) in the rear diff. My good friend mr Daniels kept me company whilst this task was being done . You can see her nestled in the cradle back where it shall stay till it shit's it self and is replaced .


Also started to clean up the tank which wasnt that bad due to only being about 5 years old . However lazyness got the better of me and i ordered a new one .This too was primed and painted with silver base and 3 coats of laquer . Again this is one of those piccys that have packed up and fucked off but u know what a ford tank looks like . Now imagine it without the rust
So as it was a little cold and somewhat moist i decided to tackle the interior that i'd picked up . also found a nice straight dash . Sadly it's a later spec one but i don't mind its far straighter than my old one and less holes .

Also picked this sexy clean wheel up from a mate of mine .


Wanted a 3 gauge holder for the centre vent but bein a really tight twat i didnt want to buy one so a scout round at work came up with a peice of 2
mm ali that was ripe for snaffling . A little wizzing,grinding,buzzing and filing later i came up with this.

Still not sure about the brushed raw look but it's somthin a little different.
(please excuse that dog shit narrow band guage in the middle it's just filling a space for a while.
Also big thanks to Wheely-Boy (Stephan ) for supplying my next challenge this
little box of tricks

Tis all for now
