[Drift]

Ahha rust spots on bonnet edge...next thing to do, a nice line of black paint across the leading edge when the rust bubbles have gone

[jason]

What's not right with this truck

Yep good old rust spots, it's already been done once cost me £100 last time
But now its just going to get painted with hammerit now,it's rusting from the in side

[Drift]

Check to see if the leading edge is sealed, water must be getting forced in somewhere

[jason]

[4x4 bobby]

Did a couple of the addvisories that were on me list. Sump plug leaking(loose) and fuel filler breather broken.




I think the old one had been FUBAR along time!!!

Glad your's is sorted Ste, Andy's not such a bad bloke after all !!!!!!!

[Drift]

Nice job, Rob could you do a write up and I will pop it into the "How to do it" section

[fogman]

gave my lwb b a clean & hoover, just a few little jobs untill she goes up for sale

[RatCav]

You keeping the wheels for your shorty Foggy?

[fogman]

im hoping to mate, the only problem is if i put wheels with standard sized tyres back on its going to have a bit of a gap in the rear arch,cant really be to change the springs again either, looking at her today i would think she would sell pretty quick
mite sell my vecky & keep her instead

Wemt and booked the 2.8 in for MOT on thursday at 11.45, wonder if it will fail lol. Also started to sort out all the parts ready to fit the spanking NEW heads to the 2.5 as one of them has gone again

[James Bass]

Ordered new bits for Beasty...
Rear discs/pads...http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWNX:IT
Handbrake shoes...http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWNX:IT
2nd rear wheel bearing (already have one)...http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWNX:IT

Should be everything ready for a spanner party to get it all done.

[Wilberforce]

Done a bit of ordering for the Bus today as well...

Decided to bite the bullet as far as the dodgy handbrake goes, so ordered up new shoes & cables from http://www.buypartsby.co.uk.
Leaves me with a little spannering to do, once they turn up, as the new front shocks are in, and I want to do the other grumbly front bearing (might do both), bleed the brakes, and finally get round to fitting the poly bushes that came with the car when I got it from Weave
Should be all set then, assuming the squashed sills don't cause problems as far as MOT failure goes???
