But yeah, it's coming along great!

The new front bar before painting shot



this was very sad so it has been given a touch up



the inside of the rear tailgate had seen better days so we gave it some bling treatment and it will protect it also

There's a good idea. Mines pretty bent and battered and I've been wondering what to do with it.

ho har got up early this morning and this is the result







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


Mrs hh

The bolts that came out of the tailgate were rather dirty and rusty so a good clean up was in order





tailgate in place...I found some gal pigtails which we think look better on the checker plate





you can't hear it but that motor is running again there was a small problem with the new fuel filter but was sorted quickly



and now the fuel gauge works



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
