Looking at the pics it looks very clean.... but we know how miss leading they can be :D .... You'll see when you look round what is really like. Best of luck, everyone here has been super helpful with mine, which has basically taken over every waking minute of my life. If I'm not working on...

Well today i have just sat down and ordered a new water pump, original (suit you sir).. :eek: and the camshaft kit made sure all the bearing bits belts etc were oem so hopefully it'll all be good. Also ordered the kit of pins like the one on paddocks.... only cheaper.... the last thing I think...

Hopefully early next year :high5: but as I said I've got to face a cold hard winter first :D I like to drive on with projects so I can get to the fun bits. I feel like once I get it road worthy then I can take my time and fettle.... Thinking I may re trim the seats with Exmoor trim kit as...

Ok so after that little discussion above went and found this stuff Protecta-Kote 4 litre Grey not necessarily this colour... think grey and black are pretty cool though... Its probably not as good as line-x etc however for that price with no primer needed one tin will probably do the car...

I'll have a look at prices not going to need vast amounts as ill only do the arches in it. Tried liquid rubber on the rear its not as think as I would like. We'll see...

Just read V8Jons thread on the fuel pump tweak, actually found the website before I found the thread. Anyways, don't think I'll bother with a intercooler for now, I'll just take the one I have and give it a good rinse out with white spirit. I have asked if anyone who has done the tweak has had...

Sounds interesting.... Truck load liner? How thick is it? I really wanted some stuff that would not fall off with stone chips and that would help the steely bits not to rust as much as possible anyways... :)

As it has now been several years since the original post and a lot of people did this tweak when it first came out have any of you experienced problems up to this point? I'm aware that V8jon has done a good few miles? The reason I ask is this. I am looking at doing this mod and was wondering...

If I'm honest it wasn't so much a conscious choice as what I could find in the massive piles of metal that fitted the bill. Still got to do the other side yet then it will be seam sealer all round and painting..... :D

Cheers matie!!.... as in friend.... not the bubble bath.... :crazy: or was that maty? Can't remember now.....

Cheers mate, yeah the 120x60 slides in beautifully.... with a jack and a sledge hammer... no only joking I did jack it and it needed a little encouragement but all in all it went pretty well. Best of luck with yours :D

I have brought all my stuff from Smith and Allan. Providing you are buying several things at once they do some very good paint for good prices. I used their cold galvanizing paint on top of fertan. I then primed that with red oxide and finished with the chassis paint they do. Once I have...

Cheers mate, its not fancy but I am dead chuffed cause it only cost me a tenner...

mmmmmmm shiny.....:D Nice job. Is there any issue with ally and steel doing this?

Ok so continue.. Heres some more pics of the rear.... HANG ON!!! DOGS BEEN ON THE PHONE AGAIN!!!! Little git... He was giving me a hug for fixing his forest-walk-wagon.... they love riding in the front... Loving my new wheels, although this photo makes it look a little under...

Ok so as promised.... u hum... a few days ago here is a progress report all the pics of the rear end coming back together..... Ok so I said I was going to panel the rear windows. I also said to DiscoNic that I would show how I did it but judging from his pics he is a lot better...

Nice work mate.... Front end next :D

Well its been a while since I have been on... :o Time just seems to fly by. I did have the week off in September and I did do tons of work the pics of which are all still sitting on my phone waiting to be downloaded. Something I shall try to get them on tonight. Been on my to-do list for the...

Mate they look great.. They also look proper hefty!? What thickness of metal did you use? I'm only going to use 1mm so should bend easy.

Cheers mate :D will be so good to be back on the road... Thunderpole is go!!! :D
