Bronze green is favourite at the moment, with a limestone roof wheels and side panels

I've taken the head off today. Pleased to see the bores are looking good. I've made the decision to get the head converted for unleaded while it's off, so I'll be sorting out somewhere for it to go this week. No pictures today I'm afraid

I'm going for traditional, so cappings will be galv and wheels limestone :cool:

I've still not decided on the colour yet. It's between Limestone, Deep Bronze Green, or Battleship Grey

I wouldn't get too excited. It'll be first attempt at a respray, I've only ever used a roller before.

I've used both Carplan engine cleaner, and Gunk. Not much between them, and they work surprisingly well. I had a couple of hours today and got a little bit more done. Cleaned the engine up some more to make it less messy to work on. Then starting taking it apart ready to...

Cheers chaps. Just about to go and do a bit more. I want to get the engine cleaned up properly before stripping it down any further. Might try and get the gearbox in the chassis too.

I'd had a bit of a set back last week when the ram on my engine crane started leaking. I end up selling it for spares and picked a new one up today. It's a 2000kg model and cost me £118, which I didn't think was too bad. I wasn't planning on doing anything today, but the purchase of the...

I do realise I'm cheating slightly with so many new bits, but I'm planning on keeping it so it'll be worth it. The handles were from Paddocks, I picked them up this afternoon. They were £1.79 each plus the VAT NTC5116 | Lifting Handle

Couple more new little bits are on. The bumpstops Rear handles Steering relay. It's dripping in copper slip just in case it ever needs to come out again. I'm also using new Stainless fixings wherever possible. I've replaced the seals on the both front and rear gearbox...

Just quality I would guess, but they should be a good fit. The Britpart stuff is always a bit hit and miss when it comes to a decent fit.

Cheers ;) Loving the rebuild :5bhurray:

I was wondering if you can remember the size of bolts you used to fix the engine to the stand? I need to mount mine soon, and it'd save my having to try different ones.

It's a pattern one. You can get genuine ones, but they're about two and a half times more expensive.

I've had a delivery today and couldn't help myself, so I've fitted a few bits. New shocks. I had thought about putting some +2s on, but in the end decided I wouldn't need them, so these are just standard. I forgot to order the top bolt washer, so I need to pick some up. New bumper...

It's been a couple of weeks since I've done anything, but today I've got a bit further. I've decided to start with the gearbox. The transfer lever was seized when I got it, so it wouldn't come out of 4wd or go into low box. First up I got it on the engine stand I bought the other week, it...

I went for a set of GB springs. That was after returning 2 sets of Bearmach's as they were faulty.

Hi Have you got a picture of the rear door, and how much do you want? Ta
