Didn't see this one coming. There are so few of them in white, let alone modified ones in white.

I will be getting straight back onto it after new year.

This is why i did a dry run and built it up, so i know its just a case of me putting the jigsaw back together Cool

Going to get it rolling and steering first, then attack it from all angles to get it ready to mot, cool

That is straight out of the gun, and you can still have a shave in the reflection ! big grin

Just getting all the 4x4 running gear poly bushed up.


3 control arms for each rear corner



rear diff subframe poly bushed


Diff mount poly bushed


Propshaft is getting blasted and repainted


Took most of the nuts and bolts for electro plating, that is what im waiting for coming back ! mad

In hindsight these should have been done and ready, i kept putting it off and now we cant do anything, but it will definitely be worth the wait.
All the bolts, washers and nuts are back to new ! big grin

Forgot to take a before and after pic ?
