Dnk Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) How was the first run out Dunk? or are you still out riding around;) Went okay Paul, only went to the mot station and home, it drove fine. Brakes got much better after a bit of bedding in, a few silly niggles to iron out but nothing worth shouting about A few photos from today Got a bag of brake line clips to fit to save the pipes from rubbing on the axles as they're only cable tied at the moment Edited March 6, 2015 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Spent the morning on my replacement bonnet, my good mate Richard panel beating and myself removing any traces of rust. Then down the pub for a couple of well earned pints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Nice work mate. You will need a couple of pints after that heavy hammer work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 What a waste of money, when it's up to its axle casings in mud who'll notice? Seriously though, a great job continues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) When its finished i might just take it somewhere muddy just for you Chris Wheels are on, need to get new centre caps now though, the next stop the paint shop and get the other bonnet and sides painted then its pretty much done, bar a new stereo and bits and pieces inside.

Dnk Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Did a bit of fine tuning yesterday, set the height on the air suspension which you can program into the ecu, mine was sitting a tad nose up and looked wrong but now sorted. Had a play about with the lower tailgate as it didn't line up very well and after an hour it's now spot on, i'm just about ready to get it in the paint shop now. Also fitted a new starter motor as the original decided 20 years was enough fitted a set of OE locking wheel nuts, LED's in the interior lights, the center caps for the wheels arrived but the supplier sent the wrong paint code so they're going back Edited March 27, 2015 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Looks great Dunk, loved reading through this. I might have missed it from before so apologies if I have, but are you planning to keep and enjoy or sell on with the price these cars in that nick command these days?

Thanks mate, if someone offered me silly money for it then yes i'd sell it. I've had a couple of enquiries but only dreamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Spent several hours cleaning the inside, mainly all the leather. Well worth the effort but the photos don't really do it justice. The drivers seat had some fine cracking in the surface but after just cleaning then feeding with Gliptone cleaner and cream they're virtually gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
