All about the house, things were quiet as a mouse
.
until Santa put his sled into the shed
and left the gift that just keeps gifting...
'twas the new year and new things to do,
So here is the next instalment, just for you.
Obviously had too much cheer at the end of the year,
And I became horizontal instead of vertical
So became more confused as to which way to go
East west or north south ... it was all to and fro
So flipped the coin and just went go, go, GO
Had a good stiff drink, and a jolly rethink,
To get back to the shed and do some more,
B pillars are now needed to have a refresh,
so we happened to have some traveller ones on the floor,
just to repair
and then add the door.
Until next time
. grind on !

I think we were up to giving the diff a bit of a haircut so that it will fit in nicely ~ just like your old school haircut
.. short back and sides, with a bit off the top
Need something to fit it on?
No problem (love those Christmas gifts)
Had a play, and, lock it in Eddie
. and then get the angle of the dangle (hopefully) correct
Need to source some U bolts and some bump stops as well, which is currently happening.
With the diff now positioned, work on the handbrake can progress as they are both from the same donor.
Quite a lot of head scratching and thought, the conclusion was, the new tunnel that was made and welded in, would have to be sacrificed and another way explored so that the donor car cables and handbrake unit worked, as the cables are connected underneath the floor above the tailshaft, unlike the minor setup.
The planets aligned, and from this..
to this
... and on to here
Unfortunately, work needs to progress on some more bodywork on the tub, which is a bit of a disappointment ~ I thought it was in better condition than it is. Oh well
. its only money
On other progress, the chassis has been completed, sandblasted and painted
. yeehah
There is still lots and lots to do on the mechanicals and other stuff, so it will still be a while yet !
until next time ...
