The gearbox is paid for, I'm just waiting for a suffix D box to arrive so he can rebuild it and send it to me. I'll let you know when I'm expecting it.

I thought I might have a gearbox swap BBQ, I'll provide the sausages and the beers if everybody brings a spanner.

I have finally got all the jobs done on mine to get her back on the road, still got the welding to be done but we cant have everything can we lol

I did manage to bust my ratchet while taking the gear stick off, so poped out to get a new one before putting the floor back in to save time, important tip....... dont stick your foot out through the floor to see how much wind go's under the landy without first making sure your shoes are properly done up!!!!!

Do you find its tricky getting fine throttle control when you can't put your heel on the floor? Or is it just me.

Kim doesn't like driving in the truck with no floor, she has only just got used to the idea of driving with no doors.

What happened????
My ummm....... passingers foot???? got hooked up in the outriggers which pulled his trainer off, and I.... err he, yes he had to hobble back to pick it up off the road, and its supprising how long it takes to stop at 55mph!

Cam yes its a little tricky to get it right without the floor to rest your heal on

As I am waiting for a mate to help me rebuild and realign my bodywork, (Daugs, You available Sunday to lend us a hand) and cant really get on, I started the re-furb of my Radio Station, first off was a blast off with the pressure washer , the missus noticed what a good job it did on the patio and now have another job lined up,doesnt she realise I have more important things to do,
Any Way things followed on and now the station is in its component parts, as you do
