Nice tray!
I was sweating when I was gently prising it out of it's home for the last 27 years!
Happy Christmas to me!!
One less oily bit to worry about cleaning up and refurbishing....
Good threadyou're doing a lot better with your build than I am, haven't touched mine since March ! I hate home improvements
hopefully another few weeks after the New Year I'll finally be finished, the missus will be happy and then it'll Sport time again
I am working to a bit of an ambitious deadline but also moved to a new house 2 years ago so clearly she is cutting me some slack! Yours is also a big project but its amazing how things can progress if you get a clear run. Good luck!Good thread
Rebuilding commences!
Not planning to do loads over Christmas even though I have some time off. Space is a limiting factor as every time I want to do something in my garage, I have to shifts stored stuff and move the shell on the jig.
I spent the morning searching through various boxes and tubs to sort out all the suspension nuts and bolts plus all the bits that I think I want either blasting or cleaning/plating.
Also started to put the rear beam back together although I may start again with some new/plated stub axle bolts:
I have found I am missing the correct rear ARB nut, bolt and washer as mine had been fitted with twin ARBs so a longer bolt so will need to source a replacement. Also trying to decide the best way to re-finish the brake servo as I have never fully dismantled one before.
Not much has happened over Christmas and New Year as expected. I took the drum backplates off and put the correct ones on (I had two pairs refurbished and didn't realise they were different - good spot Lee V) so I am more or less as I was. Ordered new handbrake cables, found a coach bolt for the handbrake equaliser but still after some bolts and nuts for the ARB. Once the cables arrive and I get some ARB bolts, I should be able to complete the beam as its all here and ready bar making brake lines.
Managed to get a pretty perfect carpet set including the boot - only needed a vacuum, some foam cleaner and a light wash. Happy days!
Im in tears here!!...... this thread has made me feel all warm inside!
