Great thread looking forward to more updates.
2 questions.
Looking at the diff, does it rain salt water in Wales? And 20 minutes of sheep action, um I hope that means something different in Wales than it does down here (or in NZ) ;-).

Ooh nice, sure it will be awesome. Seen many of his vids, he's the rock star of injector pumps over your way. .

Things are starting to move again, which is awkward when I'll have no axles in the morning
Decided I better make some kind of chassis dolley trolley thing to keep it moveable. 50mm box and a tape measure to the rescue
We had a few odd wheels about so kind of worked around them .
Keeping it simple , I thought simply measure the body mount positions and support the chassis with this frame. How hard can it be
The boy's got a new welder, so I'm not allowed anywhere near it , lol, shame
That's the wheel plates on, now turn it over and weld on the nut caps.
Spin it over again and bolt the wheels on, oh, wait, bugger, that's on wrong
Never mind, a quick cut, grind and reweld the plates on the right way round
Better
Then the rather awkward task of wrapping the chassis over the dolley
Got there in the end though, as I dropped a bollock on my sums the rear needed a quick cut n shut again, oops.
So tomorrow these axles are off on a pallet to Malta , as you do . Then I get to start bracing my Y61 axles
Onwards.

RAINING, again
Wet, wet, wet, not the band but my pants, euw but hey the axles are off
Found a suitable pallet and got the heavy load sorted ready for it's trip to Malta, gotta love tinterweb ££££
Got the trolley dolley back inside for a dry out
The frame has a cock up due to my measure error, so decided to fix it by making it more versatile lol
Got some 60mm box to slide over the 50mm box. Welded on some nuts so now I can vary the width of the frame for some reason that will become clear in some future project, maybe
End result is signed off by the top dog
Anyway, it's been one of those ideas to make life easier. I thought a couple of hours lol, nope, but hey it's here now and once I've done chassising, it'll work a treat under the shell
Onwards

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Diff lock actuator thingy
I have a snag regarding the diff lock actuator thingy. Mine is goosed
I'm also fitting diff case protection as below. Do you guys know of any alternative gizmos that will do the job ? Especially one I can incorporate into this casing ?
Thanks in anticipation
