Coming down the home straight now! :D


First the roll cage had to come off. Mainly to put the door hinges back on, and to attach the cill cover.

The doors went on, and i gave it a good wash.

Image

Rear fog light fitted.

Image

Tidied up the snorkel hole with a old seal i had about.

And the handbrake cables all in place.

Now the list that the garage gave me is looking very small now, just a few wiring problems to sort out, but i think im going to let the experts do that, as boy do i hate wiring! :lol:

Well a good 2 and a half weeks ago now, the old sj went off for its final mot..

Image

The rang me and said that one of the rear calipers was cracked, so i sorted out another one. I then got a phone call saying what are the pipes coming from my axles and why arnt they supported (breathers) They also said that the rear caliper mounts will catch the chasis rails... So i went to the garage, and had a bit of a rant at the owner. It wasnt him who failed it, it was one of his employees. I looked at the caliper catching chasis issue... Well put it this way, my tyre would have to have come through the wheel arch for it to catch :roll:

Starting to get a little fed up now!!! Plan on calling in the morning and seeing what the score is :!: :!:

That sucks mate! it would fail on the cracked caliper but the other things shouldn't come into an MOT!
