Time to update this

Axle painted.



Arms rebushed and painted.



Springs tidied up.



Fuel tank had any major rust chopped off and the remainder treated. It isn't leaking at all which is a major bonus.



And a coat of paint.



Fitted a new lift pump to the sender unit, and cleaned up the wiper tracks for the sender. As you can see it now gives correct readings at min and max.





My rear spring retainer plates were rotten right through so I made up some replacements with integrated threaded bar to make fitting easier.





Fuel tank bracket was shot, so I made one of these too.



Exhaust refitted



Tank refitted





Brake lines cleaned up and fuel lines and main pump refitted.





Axle in place.



Axle brake hardlines made up with new fittings and flexis.





Springs shocks, brake discs.





The calipers will have to wait because AutoDoc send me the wrong pad fitting kits.

I had to remake the clevis pins for the handbrake expanders as I managed to lose them. I used some offcuts of bolts with the ends peened over using a hammer.



The next part will be sorting out the electrics and interior.
