My new Patrol, new to me anyway.

Yeah, should be fine for quite some time now bud.

Rear quarters will get done soon, the rest of the chassis is fine, I have some good front wings to go on and the back wings will get done when the rear quarters are done. All the rust on the front abd rear wings is simply down to the plastic wheel arch trims getting full of crap and starting the corrosion problem.

I like the car ,it is a keeper now so will get it all sorted.

done a nice job on that and now there is no chance of anything getting in there and rusting again.

Started on the rear, this is what salt spreading in the winter and those stupid plastic arches can do:












Cills chopped off and levelled

Rear quarters chopped:











Shite chopped from inner and outer wings

Been a while since I posted in here.

I took the drawers out, looked at all the stuff in them that I have not used and reckoned I didn`t need to be lugging all that weight about. Drawers are gone now.

Had new injecters and glow plugs, pump timed up properly and it is still a bitch to start when the weather is below o centigrade.

Got a cunning pan that will sort my woes out.........I hope, will update later.

Car is currently peeing me off, so much so that I might get out of it and into a 4.2 cruiser instead.

re reading your thread, this is the very reason I'm not a fan of drawers,
firstly they weigh too much empty and you tend to fill them up and forget whats in them

Could you see through your trans/oil cooler ?
Boy that salt does its job eh

Salt is bloody murder mate. Weighed it all up before sorting the bus out, to swap for something as capable would cost £6-£9000. So had to make a decision, opted to sort the old girl out rather than getting something that may need similar work done.

All Patrols over here rust in the same places.
