Were they an option on d1s and fenders? I know some d2s had them?
Let me know if you need any muscle with lifting.
Steep learning curve

No need for help with the heavy lifting but thanks, I'm taking it into work I have plenty of free time during the day to sneak a bit of time on it. Plus it's dry 
Can get a screen for less than £150 for the LR. Same person makes series 1 split screen heated. The loom is about the same price. So may make my own.
Doors are split early 90/S3 unsure of the price think they are Sp4x4
Even my doors will be kept as spares & will repair the bottom.
Not spent any serious money on this motor in the past 20 years so needs a bit of love.

@ironie I'm guessing you just read the lot lol
@Hicap phill I think one of her doors is perhaps able to be saved. The other has almost torn out at the bottom hinge. Those hinges are a bit of a pig. Impact driver didn't even touch them. Drilled out instead.
I am not the biggest fan of a 110csw but really like how this truck looks as a pickup. Has a lot of potential and deserves rescue. Who knows I might buy one one day but I'd be going limestone

It's only Budweiser so I don't think it countsH&S.
Drinking alcohol whilst using dangerous equipment. Tsk tsk
@resto_d1 You've learnt yourself a bit mate. You need to be more careful with your fingers, they don't grow on trees after all
. There is a fair amount of useful information in your thread. Thanks for sharing your experience.Keep up the good work.
I sorta liked your idea to use the sills as holding tanks til I remembered that right angles in pressure vessels
are a really bad idea. pressure vessels are cylindrical in order to distribute the pressure evenly. Not that you will have to
worry about it, anyone capable of making the welds understands the liability and wouldn't bet their livelihoods on it.
Keep the shiny side up.

That's kind of you - I'll check how good hers are. I know the door itself was dead but not sure on hinges. Didn't pay so much attention.
I've had to walk away from the axle tonight. Got home and drill bit was there. Drill went blunt at the top before I got through the dead stud. I got it deep enough to get the coil in but couldn't tap the end out. No idea why I tried to fit it
Guess I was just getting frustrated
I'm going to get a few 6mm hss bits from work and as soon as one stops cutting I'll use a fresh one. Driving me nuts. Hard not to get really p!ssed off sometimes. Once I've sent the drill bit through it should be ok

yu saying cobalt drills are getting blunt that quick?
Yes it's just the tip of it trying to break through that stud. Chomped through the beginning then died. Also, I kept all the bolts together as you do. I have two bolts for the stub axle which look 2mm more than the others and have matching nylocs....

drill bits can be sharpened, but the truth is that takes a bit of practice as well
Bit of a mix to be fair - was a nice set of chisels etc but a variation of metal tools too - chisels, taps, grips, stilsons etc

chisels will be handy to do electrics
