[jordyp]

haha looking forward to seeing updates

[PRICER]

couple more updates,
new shocks


parabolic front springs,


i bought these quite cheap of ebay, and best thing they were only about 5 miles away

[jordyp]

when you gonna start rebuilding? what stage chassis at?

[PRICER]

chassis's all welded up, and iv welded the extra bracing in that i'l need due to going to use it for land rover pulling. i went and collected my engine today aswell, so iv got that ready too

[jordyp]

nice one. hopefully be a quick restoration haha

[PRICER]

yea i hope, iv had two weeks off tho so iv had loads of time to work on it which has helped i just need some bits now to re-do the axles with, new seals etc

[matty101]

really nice work there mate, one hell of a project mate. keep the updates coming.

and get some pics up of your welding, see if your any better than me

[PRICER]

here's my chassis in its current state, just put a coat of red oxide on it as undercoat today,

[boarderjaymee]

looking really good mate, cant wait to see more of the progress.

[PRICER]

i cant either just waiting for loads of new stuff to be delivered so i can start doing the axles up with new seals and get them put back on the chassis.

[jordyp]

what new bits you getting? what is the pulling thing?

[PRICER]

small update, its primered

[PRICER]

havent done alot, but i counter sunk the four bolts at the bottom, and drilled three holes out and tapped them 10mm, so this is ready to be bolted up to the gearbox now, oh the clutch has been bolted on now to,

[jordyp]

you getting excited yet? what happened to pink frame? :O

[PRICER]

haha ah well iv been advised to use chassis paint as its flexible, where as normal paint is hard so it can chip off when stones hit it etc ahh well black will do i'l have to customise in some different way


anyway another update, i can continue on building it as iv been and collected my supplies

my new rear parabolic springs fitted and some more welding been done,



my idea on a rear axle lock for when im land rover pulling, the axle will sit on this arm instead of putting all the weight through the rear springs.



stainless braided hoses




loads of seals and gaskets for the axles, and a new passenger footwell and door pillar.
