Well the !! Today I got the new springs on the front, fitted a new screen, managed to break it fitting it...... But got a checky sticker to hide it lol :)

Looked Over it and got a shopping list together of bits I need to fix and replace, front calipers are seized now, brake pads, oils ect.

Got all four free wheeling hubs on now which look cool, I am back in the mood for it now to as my garage is clear of jeeps and I have space and it's clean to work in there.

Onwards and upwards chaps :)

I like the fuel pump mate... may have to do something like that with mine when I get the injection in...

I might experiment with an inline pump first though!
