Awesome, thanks so much. No excuse now :)

Hi guys, I'm in lockdown again so going to do some suspension work on the old shortie shortening project.
Can anyone link me to dimensioned chassis plans please ?

I've had a busy week with life n work but did manage a few hours of axle prep.
First off I did a ratio check. I bought these Y61 axles years ago and was told they were off a 2.8 So 2 turns at the...

Hi Bill, yes I looked but my wallet is bleeding as it is :(
Keeping the stock locker for now and will think about replacement only after I break it.

Thanks for that but I'm really looking for an alternative diff lock actuator thingy. The diff case I showed is ordered but not sure yet how I'll manage the diff lock ??

I have a snag regarding the diff lock actuator thingy. Mine is goosed :confused:
I'm also fitting diff case protection as below. Do you guys know of any alternative gizmos that will do the job ?...

Sunday and the sun is out , yay. Typical as I'm on paint today :confused:

Motor plans are a bit sketchy at the mo but I have a mechanical pump, soon to go off to DieselMeken :) I also have a very large supercharger !!!

Top news today, I just sold the axles off the old Y60 £650 old skool money pounds :)
Minutes later I converted half that into an OM606 engine, which is an absolute steal.
Now got to start buying...

Here's a little update . Big day with sand , 30 odd bags of it infact. The poor old chassis had built up a protective layer of proper blighty rust :(
So to make life easier and identify any weak...

Funny old day, had to go back to work :furious:
Don't know how you guys are doing down there but Wales is just lifting lockdown :(

Here's the old girl resting, as it has for two years. All we've done is get the engine out. Sold that and set about undoing the body mounts. Undid the looms and ripped off the rotten fuel pipes....

Hello again, I'm back :tease:
My old Trol has been parked up minding her own business for a few years . Now with all my lockdown house jobs brownie points cashed in, I'm back on the spanners....

Thanks for that , I guess I'm in that awkward early build position. I found that triag site and an American you tube guy explaining it in particular to do with rock crawling. Anyway I appreciate it's...
