Did a little bit more this afternoon
Steering box fitted, new drop arm ball joint fitted, panhard rod on, pas pump fitted
Steering guard fitted, very bling
Intersting thing i found when trying to fit the diff lock pivot, no m8 drilling in gearbox casing, quick drill and tap job done, im guessing this recon used an old ldv or sherpa casing, seeing as there the same box and landrover, not to worry works fine now,
Should get the body on in the morning, :dance:
