Wicked thank you

Turned this...



Into this...



And then welderised it up again....only I forgot to take a piccy of it finished so it didn't happen which is sad cause I don't want to spend tomorrow welding upsidedown AGAIN! :doh:

BB was that on the ambulance?

eventually got my bonnet open, nothing wrong with cable, but the release had got rather ****ty, so cleaned all that and lubricated it, re-routed bonnet cable slightly, cleaned under said bonnet after son had taken it playing at the local off road centre, cleaned the rest of the footwell out of mud!!!

If I were you, ditch it and fit some release pins or w/e there called while you can!

Booked mine in for it's Control Technic which is the French MOT. I know it will not pass as I need to get the foot wells done, but once failed I will have two months to get it sorted out.

Just replaced the front and rear axle breather pipes. Always satisfying when a job is easy and works out well.

Replaced the ignition switch as it wouldn't trigger the glow plugs and the key had to be held in position 3 to keep it running.

Hardest bit was the grub screw the rear of the barrel.

Found that my doner Disco gearbox has a wading plug fitted, wonder why that is??
Not been offroaded in the last four years to my knowledge

Fitted the wings back on, picked up a host of new parts and spent the best part of the afternoon modifying coolant pipes :doh: bastid things

No my 109.

Was intending to paint the welded section this morning but found a few more thin bits so thought I'd do a proper job rather than what was needed just to get a ticket....especially as she might be finding a new owner soon.









She feels good and solid now The rest of the chassis is really very good and I've been aware of those thin sections for a while now....feels good to have them done though I probably should've just patched the bottom that the inspector spotted and gone to get a ticket.

Spend some time with Pikey messing around with the ambulance engine as well, timed it up (was a fair way out) and adjusted the mixture and she's running a lot smoother and smoke free so fingers crossed thats emissions sorted.

Hopefully broken the back of the lighting issues with Mintys help as well...tomorrow will tell a fuller story.
