When you say 'drove,' do ya mean under it's own steam or do ya mean steering it behind a towing vehicle?

own steam....let it warm up for 20 minutes on the drive first though !

Is that why you did the warm-up exercises on the old weights?

took mine to Wiltshire.

Insulated the roof with some aero-foyle type stuff - should reduce the condensation and noise. Pics to follow.

gave my mates a 2 inch lift , on procomp shocks , fitted the 265 75 16 insa turbo special tracks , 2 sets of diff gaurds , (one to mine one to his) and 2 wader kits , and fix some bulbs etc

Changed a couple of lamps on the dash clocks and broke an insert!!

Fitted new side lamp after running into hedge and smashing old one to bits

did a bit of a service saturday..

oil and filters.... is there any way of gettin the oil filter off without coverin everythin, including me, with used oil?

Plated the hole in the chassis and welded the nearside bulkhead outrigger. One more outrigger to do then polish and paint the chassis.

Power washed him, nice and clean again!!

D1 V8
New engine in and mated to auto box, replaced sump and fitted rest of loose bits and now just waiting for the rad thats been recored, going to collect that tomorrow and get the old 8 rumbling by next weekend hopefully.

D2 Td5
Dropped the roof lining to find 2 of the 4 drain outlets broken so I have Araldited them back in and waiting for that to set.
Whilst the lining was down I fitted a Sirio "bee sting" CB antenna using the spare hole in the rear of the roof and it looks quite good without being an obvious CB antenna.
Once the Araldite has set I'm going to park facing down hill, re-fit the tubes and see where the rear leak is coming from (both rear tubed intact).

Another quiet weekend!
