Is it just my eyes or can I actually see the floor in some of those pics

BTW, oil ordered, have you found the 2nd new UJ in your tidying up mate ?

& watch out for tigers lurking in the dark corners, you never know whats hidden in there

if he finds my missing shock that is hidden in there somewhere he will sneak a few rungs up the redemption ladder

Cockney Boy · « **Reply #994 on:** September 04, 2012, 03:40:57 PM »

Where's this new found motivation come from? Don't tell me with a clean workshop your desperate to get it dirty

sheriff bubba · « **Reply #995 on:** September 04, 2012, 05:34:57 PM »

lol that A frame has taken a year as it happens lol the frame came from the mod in a load of scrap but the ends were wrong for my use they needed rotating rotating 180deg enter lard stage left so he takes it to work to do in a lunch break anyhoo we both sorta forget it and a year later i reminded him and he brought it to the pub meet saterday

he also made me some funky bumper brackets but i they wernt gonna work when offered up so i made my own up so its a mod bubba lard combo but i am pleased with the end result

the only issue i have is the pile of crap limp wristed zj as the lpg kit is not working bastard thing

.......................... could be a problem

sheriff bubba · « **Reply #996 on:** October 13, 2012, 09:00:15 AM »

well post cheapfest update is that the 3b has suffered oil pump failure so needs a new engine i have been looking for a turbo lump and was hoping to copy a a bell housing to mod the starter motor area but idea is curantly shelved due to too much stuff going on and fluff related issues
so i am now thinking of taking a couple of years of and just tinkering slowly at an affordable rate
other tinkering will carry on and at the moment i have yota landcruiser in with its engine apart but sadly its scrap due to a cracked bore so that is sitting awaiting an engine
there is a stranded tj that i will be hoping to get mobile on sunday but cant help feeling a bit unsure of the days outcome but we shall see

on a good news front the 2a will be mot exempt in november which is an incentive in itself as once on the road annual costs will be minimal i also here there is talk of the exemption extending poss up to 1980 but more like 1970

And as per usual your concerns were well considered but as usual you had a plan

Cheers Kev

well a trip was made to gazes stately home and a repair was effected before the dogs were turned on me [gaz looks more like monty burns each time i see him] so any way new flexy pipes now fitted and job seems a good un gaz i suspect may be a pervert he has mirrors on the wall and a shiny floor to his garage

yota seems to have a plan forming hopefully a donor vehicle will be found so the original head gasket plan has developed in to a much bigger job than first planned

other plans are slowly forming though i feel pressure is off me though it does mean no offroadin for the turkey hunt only there as support this year
