Yesterday, swapped five wheels over - hard work when you're not as fit as you'd like to be an in the strange early summer heat.

Re centred the steering wheel (although I went to far and need to re re centre it back a spline)

While the steering wheel was off, tightened up all 3 column bolts with an added blob of thread-lock and mini mole grips.

Last weekend, fitted engine kill switch pull to scuttle and painted wing mirrors.

Well today im going to wire in my LWB rear lights, but yesterday we had a mini meet at mine again with Bill & Ben, Alchemist, and Fuddy. It was a rear leaf spring swap and suspention lift in one go. We nearly had a catasrophe when the truck went sideways and came off the axle stands, but a bit of perserverance and all was done. so a big thanks to the lads for all there help, Midlands boy's Rule!!!!!!!
Here's a before and after shot i think it looks a lot better lifted.
