this was very sad so it has been given a touch up
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...010/02/701.jpg
the inside of the rear tailgate had seen better days so we gave it some bling treatment :D and it will protect it also

easo is down this way with the ADF ATM so he is comming over to give us a hand later and ZD 534 of course:D
Mrs hh:angel:
The bolts that came out of the tailgate were rather dirty and rusty so a good clean up was in order:D
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...010/02/627.jpg
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...010/02/628.jpg
tailgate in place...I found:angel: some gal pigtails which we think look better on the checker plate
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...010/02/629.jpg
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...010/02/630.jpg
you can't hear it but that motor is running again:arms::ohyes: there was a small problem with the new fuel filter but was sorted quickly
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...010/02/631.jpg
and now the fuel gauge works
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...010/02/632.jpg
seems all the gauges work now which is rather helpful for a roadworthy
ZD 534, CC, easo and Alex thanks to you all today hope you enjoyed the lunch the Mrs ZD and myself which took so much time to prepare;)
PS easo didn't get his hands dirty he was too busy looking at trucks and photos:D
Mrs hh:angel:
