I've just been pottering on there this afternoon. Engine flush in. Brum brum brum for 15minutes. Oil out, filters swapped, new oil in.

Shes sounds sweet as a 25 year old SJ can.

Kinda got sidetracked after that and started wiring in additional lights and sockets in the garage. Then it got too dark to do anything with the power off so I came inside.

So far top xmas requests are a gas space heater and pipe bender. I've never really liked the rear mud guards. There just a legal thing. So next year aswell as the long list I already have i'd like to do my original plan and make a proper tray back for her.

We'll see, lol.

Looks good how much did u get them seats for 65 quid

[Jordi]

£75

[dazerede]

Not bad I was looking for bucket seats Like that before I picked up a pair or recaro seats for 20 quid and about 2 days of cleaning I should of bought a pair like urs in blue

[Jordi]

Like i say. Kills two birds with one stone. Buckets for the modded one and the seats out off that into the pickup.

I didnt thing £75 was too bad. Collect them on saterday and i should have enough steel to knock some modded runners up to fit them.

Just looking for an SU now for the pickup.

Gona be a busy xmas holiday. Still hunting for powersteering. If i've got time i'll be scrap yarding at the weekend. Collect and inspecting the pickup took up most of the weekend.

Llama 4x4 bolt through mounts seem to be ok now. The passenger side bolt was too long to in bolt down so i put it in bolt up. But when u fully tighten it, it rattles like a good'un off the floor.

Removed it, cut about 1/4 inch off it and remounted it. All seems ok, but im not sure if they make the transfer box sit in a slightly different place. Either that or one of the mounts is bent. When its in 4wd high the lever is fouling on the hole in the floor.

More investigation work needed once again.

On the original mounts 1 of the mounts is a slightly different thickness compared to the other 2. Are all 3 the same thickness on the llamma 4x4 mounts?
