So it's all ready for playing in, hopefully it will be ok for a little bit now.

I will need to whip the rear diff out and get my diff builder to check it over as I haven't had it looked at since I bent the rear axle. But I was driving it yesterday and it seemed fine when I was doing donuts in the car park :)

Next up is install the second battery and winch and all the cabling and solenoids. I may leave this until the Christmas break, plan to use it next weekend somewhere, god knowers where. Then boxgrove the weekend after.

But anyway, we are there :) thank god for that.

Mike :)

Polish?! Are you mad !! I drive this into trees !!

I don't polish anything. This is a tool used for a purpose. It gets jet washed and that's more than enough !!
