Project 90 update

Hello all,

An update for those of you that might be following the progress of P90.
First major job out of the way, the axles are finished. I couldn't get past an uneasy feeling about the CV joints still being standard when the rest of the axle is full Ashcroft spec so It now has Ashcroft Cv's too. Just fit them button it up and hopefully forget any possibility of breakages.
The brakes have been bolted on. Front callipers are now new Bearmach D110 clamping grooved drilled discs. On the back we are using more new callipers and the same sort of discs.
Complete fluke luck at the weekend, a lovely new inch smaller leather steering wheel, really chunky and just the thing. £2 and...... yes, it went on as if it were designed for it. Took a few thou off the back of the boss for the clip on self cancelling ring and it was done! I believe this can be classed as, you jammy beggar.
Andy Daws is just finishing the very special three link front and high flex rear suspension. My insistence in running 5 inces of lift has meant a couple of mods to the standard set up which is designed for 'only' 4 inches of lift. I'm really looking forward to getting the rose jointed rear arms, fwoar!!!
It seems like a lot of slog at the moment, hours in the shed and it doesn't look much different each time I close the door.

Mind you Lee at custom vinyl has designed a cool Project 90 logo and he's working on graphics for the finished truck too, thats been a big psycological boost.
My only problem is I'm struggling since I lost the backing of the company that was to paint her.
Any one got a paint shop and fancy squirting a nice coat of Ivory on in return for publicity???

Would love to help you Jerry - unfortunately I live in the real world where I have to pay for anything I get done to my Landys !  :lol:

jerry thurston:
Real is relative!
I'm merely reintroducing the barter system, payment of another kind.

Re Pix, Anybody tell me how to do it?????

Land Rovers I can do, computers humm?
