Sills chopped back a bit. Clears lock to lock on level ground but does foul when on lock and articulating a bit. Should be find for MOT and when i have time i'll move axle forward 20/25mm.

Hand brake adjusted, i'm hoping it passes but it needs a new cable bracket to tension it properly.

Oil & filter changed.

FWHs fitted!

All i really have left to do is refurb the front brake calipers (can't be that bad got though another MOT) and swap the front clip. That will not be done for wiltshire. Possibly Wagtail though.

Having poked and prodded about over the last few weekends it is pretty apparent that we have rust, lota of rust / rot.

The only thing i can think of is a body off clean up. Or another body.

I haven't inspected it yet but the LWB is looking like a good candidate if its more solid. I haven't as yet looked at the foor wells and bulkhead. I do know the arches / sills are shot but thats all easily repaired.

I'm looking at doing the LWB body how i want it then just swap them over. It's just and idea at the moment as i haven't given the LWB a through inspection inside as its full of shit!

I just don't think i did a good enough job Tom. I never did the inner sills either.

At some point i'll get it over the inspection pit at work and give it all a good going over. I know aome of it is just well stuck on crud but some is rot.
