Would love to but can’t drive it to jet wash and neighbours moan like f@ck if I do it out side the house, all that’s left is to clean the bits in the back yard as they come off. :evil:

Not your headstone is it mate?

Nosebolt · « **Reply #9 on:** June 01, 2009, 04:38:35 PM »

not mine Tim, that would need to be a LOT bigger..

anyway back to the saga, Dan was a no show today so working by my self still managed to make some progress.

transfer is off, front cowl is off and most of the bits have been removed just the power steering, throttle cables and gearbox to do, but will wait now till engine stand turns up before i do any more now.

Shame its so far away,would have likede to have tried it against mine.Had to take off the big shiny bull bar to fit thewinch bumper but it looks bare now and i was thinking of a bolt on a frame to fit my spots to

Tank
If ya still up for it by Cheapfest I could drag it along.
Originally nailed to a Isuzu and prior to that a Suzuki... threwth??!!
But I guess a bit of a BFH and some metal melting and it'll fit anything!

Started to remove ancillaries and gave it a bit of a clean today.

Could do with some help with the vacuum pipes, sure they cant all be needed.

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 12, 2009, 09:55:29 PM »

mmmmm :smt044

Dave69 · « **Reply #22 on:** June 13, 2009, 10:04:01 AM »

vacuum pipes are normally needed for a reason. reminds me of a mk1 golf with a vacuum based carb which was a nightmare to sort out so they got swapped for a webber

Bubba · « **Reply #23 on:** June 13, 2009, 10:24:14 AM »

dump them septin one for the dizzy

Nosebolt · « **Reply #24 on:** June 13, 2009, 11:26:47 AM »

The reason I ask is there seems to be a load going to what I think was a cruse control and some that seem linked to the air con both of which I wont be using. The only one not connected when I got the block was the one to the dissy and don’t know which one it should be #-o
