Nuffin today but had a busy day on Sat getting it ready for Sun. Nothing major, finally wired in the CB proberly and replaced the mount made out of cable ties with some proper fixings, had to fit the spare cos I found a nail in the tyre that had gone right through :(

Sorted out all my recovery gear and toolkit

Finished installing the remote central locking 8) 8)

Swapped over the front door panels for a good S/H set and replaced the panel under the wipers as mine was going rusty.
Soon to be without a Frontera after 10 years of owning one :-(

In the garage today for fronty number 1 to have the rear diff sorted. Still looking for an engine to put into fronty number 2. The lads from LRS are coming down to take a look at the engine bits see if anything missing, she may be able to be rebuilt. Hubby has lost job though so mods and repairs will be postponed for a while. I got a job interview on thursday for a £34k job, fingers crossed please everyone. Think I may have sold the broken mondeo for £500 not as much as I needed or wanted but hey ho!

Today I Finished wireing up the rear work light and the switch unit on the dash for it, and the other goodies I will be adding soon, (more spots and a set of strobes) Thanks Trugga for putting the wireing diagram on here, it helped loads.

Just need to mount the spare wheel on the roof, as the light is shining straight onto the tyre and bouncing the light into the motor. Doh. :oh yer:

Hmmm... Filled the rear diff with oil. Checked that there were no leaks from the sump. Fitted the 3rd brake light that Iv had for about6 months to the rear window.

Still got to fit the central locking and timing belt kit and the 2 new UJ's
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!
