Thanks Thor

Doing the gearbox now

It has some dust on it

I'm going to have to polish it.

Buying it.

im putting a gas strut on me 90, made the hangers for it last weekend

think al put mi td5 transfer box on ..... see how long it lasts this time and possibly sort mi rear winch tray out

Leavin' it alone and going laning on the bike

Fitting airbox and most of the piping. What genius made snorkel and turbo intake 63mm and airbox 73mm?????

Fitting the flexi arches I just bought. Driving to Derby to get them today

Taking the caravan down south

Using it for work all weekend

I went out laning today in the 90... And realised that the "anti-stall" thing makes life far too easy. Drove the whole lane (which my v8 disco struggled on at parts) with just fingertips steering and no feet on the pedals!

Been to Exeter and back to take my daughter to uni

injoying it

Currently refurbing the carbs

Just finished checking fluids. Supposed to have been done 5k ago by an independent but I thought I'd just check everything as I'm off to Scotland next week. Needed a bottle jack under a breaker bar to open the transfer box filler and the breaker to open both on the back axle. The back axle was full of treacle, it was still running out (and I mean running not dripping) after 15 minutes.

Worth it when its running right though!


Thankfully I'm on a motorsport course so I'll be asking the technician if he's got any spare dizzy's or anything useful that I might be able to pilfer along with ideas on how to get the bastid started up!

Don't believe its not wanting to now after a week sounded great when it did too. I might just rip it out and dump in a 2.25 or whatever engine I can lay my paws on but we'll see, going to add another earth to the block direct to chassis as its already earthed out to the bulkhead and the starters earthed out to the chassis but will put an engine to chassis too

Have you tried using a bit of Easy Start down the barrels?
