More ####in service items lol



####ing fuel filter on lol



####ing air filter on lol



Old fuel filter was knackered, opened the drain tap and nothing happened, must have been gunked up with crap

Iv started to get some bits together to do the cambelt. Heres a pulley puller and timing locking pins



A needle torque wrench for setting the tension on the cambet tensioner



Then on to some more jobs, changed he drivebelt, heres the old one, was ready to go imo



New one on



7 litres of Halfords finest EP 80/90 GL4 gear oil



First up drain the transfer box



Magnet collection



Clean



Bit of Hymolar Blue on the threads



Old tx box oil



Drained the axles



Refilled



Old axle oil



Then started to get the rest of the bodywork for the remaining wrap, started off with the fuel filler compartment. Sanded all the bubbling areas smooth



Etch primer



Black inside



Looks a bit messy now, but when the wrap is on it will cover all that overspray



Also my spare wheel cover came, wrinkles will fall out over time

This is a very inspiring thread, make me want to get back to work on mine!

My new "diesel fuel" plate arrived so I could put all the filler stuff back on, how this area looks currently



A little drain plug on the bottom of the snorkel



And started stripping the rear for the final push to finish the wrapping

Cracking thread this
love the look of the wrapp
You make it look so easy, i tried to do it a few years back on my Gsxr rear panels it went horribly wrong

lol, i bet you got horribly angry too

This is a great thread; I'm fully subscribed

Sanded down any loose paint and corrosion, some of these areas were probably the worst on the car





Cleaned then etch primered, near enough ready for wrap now

Keep up the good work! Where did you get your spare wheel cover from?

Cheers Russ

Just a cheapo eBay purchase

Started on wrapping the rest of the car, rear door off



Wrapped these side bits





Finally for today, wrapped the lower parts of the backs



Put some of the lights etc back on and the new defender decal

WRAP DONE!

Start of the day was to wrap round the rear windows



Then I finished off with the sides, all I need now is a new rear land rover oval badge which iv ordered, heres some finished pics

New reflectors



How the petrol cap area looks











Will get some better pics when its had a clean
