Right !
Today hasnt gone well ! First I bleed the power steerings, fixed te battery in, checked it was charging properly, all good. Drove it up the road and got a bit of a knock !
Put it up on axle stands an drove it, and ow dear. Front diff isn't well ! I had it built by a professional, but then I needed to mofify the flange for cruiser props, and I have ruined the backlash in the diff, so i am going to take them both back out and have them built again. do it properly !
But ! The place where I was going to take was shut today !!
Ow well ! So close yet so far lol !!
Got a rear door seal fitted too, jut got to sort this diff issue then il be off !! Bloody thing !!

What bits do you need? I have a pair of 413 (not samurai, just 413) axles lying in the garden waiting to have something done with them.

bloody thing !!
doesn't run now !
i have no idea why not, i am beginning to get really anoyed with the whole thing.
it will start and run for a few seconds then die. and i dont know why.
i am going to try and get to the bottom of the problem today, multi point fuel injection is NOT the way to go people. far to complicated !
