Keep going!
well thus far only prop is off, im trying to get drivers side side suspension appart.. but its being a right pain in the nads..,. so quick break, regen and try again...
ive also labbelled all nuts and bolts.. (on paper sheets stating what they are) taken rust off battery shelf, cross member and propshaft.. which i have now resprayed a nice black colour
once bettys back to take over from fay duties ill hopefully get the transfer box off.... then shower and off to dinner with birthday boy.
You, my friend, are certifiable. Good luck!
Go Barry................... go Barry !!
Keep going Barry ........... we're all sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for the next update.
Love the article pages stuck in your house window!
And take plenty of pics - if I can find enough manual bits, I may look at converting my car to a proper box!
hehe, thanks
well, i tried to keep going, but the heavens opened up... i am now completly soaked... ill wait 30 mins see if it dies down a bit, however i think thats all i can do for today..
I must have spent about 30 mins alone trying to get the prop shaft off and about 1hr trying to get the nut of the drivers side srive shaft!! argh...
Anyhoo, prior to the heavens opening up, I managed to get everything off the car, other than the transfer box and gearbox. ive got a few more tips, and additions to dickytim's article.. as I found some easier ways of doing things, so ill add my points once the jobs completed..
Well spotted, those are ineed the pages from the article stuck to the window
Auto to manual conversion is it??
How hard is it to get the driveshaft nut off?? Not TOO hard i hope, got mine to do on sat!
Good luck!
No longer empty and frantic...
Great stuff Barry
Got to hand it to you mate, you have balls !
Good luck with the rest of the project
