The parts hauler. Actual progress?

Post by andyrew » Thu May 30, 2013 6:05 pm

Well ive been a naughty boy. After looking for a trailer to shift bits of the kja
To the sand blaster. I couldn't find one big enough without it being too heavy.
So I bought a motorised trailer convertible estate 4x4 van thingy. Some will recognise it
Im sure.

To be honest. Its pretty shonky and dangerous And Bodged. But nnothing that can't
Be sorted with a bit of tinkering. Tho it did make it home from Newcastle with a leaking head
Gasket. 250 miles over 7 hours. I bought some ear plugs and headed south as the gearbox screams
Its currently sat at a friends house after the rear diff exploded at 55 mph on Monday. So I left it there and went for a pint.

So plans? Weld on new rear corner as the door fell off. New engine gearbox tbox and rear diff.
Offset rims lift and 31s .roller paint job In satin navy blue then head to Wiltshire. Then box sills before the next mot.

Will I ever learn? :lol:
