Update again

First port of call, after opening and closing the window all of 3 times, the winder broke so



found a spare handle in a box of bits so not back to standard again

also got some fabric from the market, found some spray glue, and got busy

first off, the head lining, made from some hard board and had to do it in two halfs to make it fit



then had some extra material left so did the door cards



which was nice, also hoovered and changed the stereo, and also measured up and tested the winch i got off tom, all working very well, maybe a winch bumper in the new few weeks, all good stuff

next week, i have a weekend of offroading at parkwood (i think, the one near gatwick) so should have some photos and maybe video too

thanks for looking

[ianedwards]

ive got to do all my interior, it will be a first for me.

hi,

couldnt do me a favour, when your next working on your sj, could you measure how wide and long the base is on the back. around the light area, that sort of level,

i cant find any measurements on the net, you got me the panel sizes before.

Cheers

Ian

[justaddmud]

Ian, sorry havent remembered to get any measurements when ever i am outside, will do shortly i promise

Little update, did a competition with my club at picadilly woods, what a place, if you happen to have lockers and 35's otherwise, it is a nightmare, even getting from one side of the site to the other took 13 cars an hour, needless to say, I wont be going back there again.

anyway i managed to scrape 1 dustbin full of mud off the SJ straightened the wheelarch that i managed to bend on the rear pickup bit



quite hard to see, but not bad considdering the conditions.

here is a picture with some jerry ridged extra spots for the night section we did



also, new devopment occoured on sunday, a 2 figure sum and some swearing as i helped remove



cant decide if i want to try the injection route, or bike carbs, the bike carbs would sound pretty good

[dan_2k_uk]

the bike carbs would sound pretty good

[ianedwards]

nice one, muddy

[covenanter]

you seem to know your stuff. can you tell me how to get rear bumper off.and as i use my e plate sammy for everything would removing one of the propshafts screw any more miles out of it when used on tarmac. i am new to this but intend to make a new set of bumpers. and add a snork

[ScottieJ]

16V ohhhh yeah!

[justaddmud]

Thanks guys, it was nice to get it propper muddy again, however the clean up was a nightmare.

16v was just too cheap to pass up, still unsure what direction to take, think if i could get a loom ecu and maf, i might keep it fuel injected, however, the sound of a ballanced and lightened raised compression lightly ported 16v on bike carbs just gives me the fizz

Covenantor, I used to be very knowledgable, (i used to be able to spell too) i think i remember where the bolts are for the rear bumper, but that is about it

anyway, bit of an update, spent a lot of sunday removing and refitting a gearbox in a series 2 109, but that is another matter, however at the end, i got ( i say I, I mean my mate simon) got a tape measure, losely fitted my winch plate, and he then took some steel to work, and did this



can you tell what it is yet?
