Going to wash it after the run from 2 weeks ago and start removing panels doors etc to start the rebuild. Purchased Orbital Steering and RAM the other day for the rebuild, so going to keep patting it as I walk past :roll:

Went to VTNZ to get WOF for the jeep

Failed on 5 relatively minor things so will try to get them fixed.

One of them already while still in the carpark at VTNZ. He failed it because the rear lap seatbelt was jammed under the seat, so I folded the seat bottom forward, lifted out the belt and put it back :evil:

Handbrake adjustment, headlight alignment, seat retaining bolts and front bumper to sort now.

I had removed the two plastic end caps off the bumper, well Rallywoods kindly removed one and is looking after it for me, the other is in the garage. Already been through one WOF with only one on the front, now I get told it has sharp corners
So thinking that a piece of hose split down the length pushed onto each end should do the trick??

Taking the engine off tomorrow and put it on the bench to inspect and hopefully fix.

We've ALL done stupid things, Curly, but to boast about it on a public forum is the winner!!!!

Changed out the complete front axle assembly of the 80 series so I can overhaul it. Going to do wheel bearings, CV's, CV support bushes, knuckle seals and should probably do the drive plates as well.
Also thinking about zinc plating so the balls dont corrode.
