I shall be eating it tomorrow!!

There's a famous country pile called Stanford, That's noted for fresh air and fun, LakesRob and his 110woman Went there with young Gabriel their son. They didn't think much of the guest list, T'was looking quite fiddly and small, So seeking to boost the attendance They tried to get more to the...

I think my balls have seen better days! However, rubbed down the front axle and gave it a coat of buzzweld - rust control primer and chassis in one top coat.

Nearly run out of things to take off now! Rubbed down and primed half the chassis. Getting new dumb irons fitted tomorrow and then I'll do the other half of the chassis.

Diffs out today. Just wondering where I get the replacement foamy brown stuff for the front diff and the green sludge for the rear diff!

Nearly finished disassembly! Original plan of changing the oil and a lick of paint went out of the window then! Decided to cut the roll cage out. Any want it - it's yours for nothing! Managed to acquire a second hand bulkhead in good nick for £180 so it seemed a shame to hack it bits to fit...

That's a bugger. Bought some last week for £24!!

Think the front of the chassis has seen better days. New dumb irons on order! And why would the previous owner cut the brake pedal?!

More progress today. Bulkhead off and near side front wheel and hub removed. The more I take off the more there is to do! Good job Sam is very understanding!!

And he didn't want to leave it outside to get wet!

It was good to meet you and see so many other new and old friends!

Only managed 3 hours today - but just got master cylinders, steering and windscreen to take off and then the bulkhead can come off! The drivers side is as bad as the passenger side so, since we've taken it this far, a new bulkhead it is then!

Managed a few more jobs today. Near side wing off to see the state of the bulkhead. Thinking it might be better in the long run to just replace the whole bulkhead rather than repairing both sides! Engine out as well and removed all the wiring. The inside of the bell housing is fairly filthy...
