This and that.

Time for an update me thinks, a couple of weeks ago I took the 2000 saloon off for it's MOT and it passed with only one advisory, a nail in one rear tyre, so that'll have to get changed before the RBRR. Another re-con propshaft has also been fitted, as the one on there was starting to rumble at around 70mph. Leaving the only other job I would like to do before the run, being a front suspension control arm as I think there must be some slack in it as there is still some steering shake when braking hard or hard cornering at speed.
With the GT6 gearbox tunnel almost finished, I turned my attention back to the Lightweight for another bash at it. The main chassis rails have now been welded up and a start made on the bulkhead repairs. Meanwhile the old series engine and gearbox has been lifted out so we can clean up the bulkhead in preparation for painting and removal of the old redundant military wiring.
Th remains of the Lightweight have now gone off to a local garage to have the front axle re-built and the differential crown wheel and pinions taken from a Landrover Discovery, which is also to donate it's engine.
Once it gets back there will still be some welding required to fit new outriggers for the bulkhead and a fuel tank outrigger.



Woof!
