Looks nice. I don't need daylight since I have to turn of position lights so my dash can work

Another wheel stud broken.............removed spacers and binned.............

[JEOH]

Replaced the plastic plugs holding the headlights...

Got abit further with the rack today. The main part of it is done, got all the light mounts on and the spare tyre mount. Just need to do the trays for the waffle boards and the tree/bush sliders down the sides (these'll be last so they don't get scratched to buggery) then some paint. Very pleased with it so far

Congratulations Ian!!!!!

[snapper]

Well done Ian, ref conversions I got a 3.1 engine that needs a truck.... I just need a SWB to go with it ...

[yaki]

Nothing yet, was hoping to have spent loadsa time on it this week but with work and travelling have hardly been home, today however I will be in the garage until the wee hours cracking on with it, got a play day lined up next Sat and there is loads to do

[mudman1988]

I found out LWB bull bars dont fit SWB cars due to the to loop bit up bu the wings on the inside of the bull bar and the shape of the wings being different.......... So out come the angle grinder and the mussles I cut off the loops a bent the bar apart now it fits

[yaki]

+4" springs off my old LWB fitted, replaced rear top suspension arm, modified some Land Rover dislocation cones to fit Frontera coils, painted them yellow and fitted to the SWB.

Started removing the front axle, diff guard is off and the drivers side is stripped out, back on it tomorrow and hopefully have it wrapped up.

Job list seems to be going up not down, had to cut the bolt holding the axle to the chassis as the captive nut had broken free, snapped off 2 of the bolts that hold the diff guard to the chassis cross member so will need to sort out these as well

[jaybrian32]

New radiator and fresh antifreeze yesterday, new drivers door hinge today

[yaki]

Another session and the old front axle is off, the 2 rear captive nuts decided to break free which caused me a major headache, fitted the front axle off my old LWB as it has a locker in it and a 35mm diff drop. Fitted my Calmini top arms, driveshafts, hubs, shocks, back on it again tomorrow

And I managed to slice open the top of my thumb with an angle grinder, serves me right for rushing

[yaki]

More spannering today

Fitted manual hubs, front calipers, flexi hoses, suspension crossmember, front propshaft. Replaced all metal brake pipes with copper and a good s/h brake block. Drilled out the split pins on the track rod ends and fitted them with the 2 new arms I had on the LWB

Drilled out and retapped one of the mountings for the front bash plate as the original one had snapped off

On a mission now, needs to be all done ready for playing on Saturday and there is still a shed load left to do

[snapper]

No excuse's Chris, not with that set up you have mate. I think you should have to do the work out in the yard meself.... Tis even more fun when it's raining or snowing

[2much]

Well done chris, you are working hard there!

What length are your rear shox? Bit surprised you needed cones with +4" springs!?
