Front end waiting to be fitted later, I only have till Tuesday in the workshop so plan is to make the tub weather proof then I can put it back outside the house and clean and dress the engine before I fit the front bodywork, armor wont be ready for a week so can take my time.

Taking it easy today, re-fitted the rear seat, hood and made some door strikers. Did try and fit the screen but decided to leave it to someone who knows what they are doing so its getting fitted Tuesday morning, I wont see it being fitted got to go and do a speeding course, don’t know why, I already know how to speed  :twisted: . Anyway here are a few more unnecessary photos;

Did a list of all the jobs I want to do on the CJ this morning and there was no way I would do it all before Cheapfest, so I'm not going to do em all.
Put the front end on today, it not quite lineing up 100% but its runable now. Glass tomorow and then a minor rework of the electrics.

Post by: Nosebolt on August 29, 2008, 07:11:09 PM
had to do some paying work this week :shock:

most of the jobs I've been doing are the fiddly little jobs like fit the roll bar, seat belts, trace a fault in the lights (foot switch knackered, new one ordered), tidy the wiring, relocate the winch cut off and waiting for a few parts to turn up from the US.

Hit a milestone today, I definitely WILL be at Cheapfest, it’s now back to road legal (ish) *cough* don’t mention the lack of wheel arches*, all lights now work, top of front wings filled in, rear number plate fitted, I even re-fitted the clino.

Should get the rest of the checker plate tomorrow PM, so like the front it will be fitted unpainted, also wont have time to make the rubber inserts for the inner wings but the main section is there.

Title: Last Picture before Cheapfest
Post by: Nosebolt on September 04, 2008, 08:53:30 PM
ok its dark, I  have just finished rewireing the fuel gauge, oiled and greesed the underside, fitted new gearbox mount and the rest of the armor, got some worries about the front prop shaft, quite a bit of sideways play in the spline, but if the worst happens I'll have a 2wd jeep for a while. if anyone has a front prop for sale and can bring it to cheapfest I would be a very happy bunny. :P
