UB in the UK
Well Betty made it here in one piece and now resides at a local Farm Garage where it is going through the lighting mods for the UK and a list of minor gigs to pass its MOT inspection--kinda like a state inspection.
We have been working flat out on our house getting up at 5 and getting home at 9 or 10 to get ready for our furniture to arrive
trying to get all the painting etc done before then
good to hear from you, hows wrngway doing?
Ill get some pics posted of the new habitat as soon as I get settled in

Progress is slow
Progress is slow but still in a forward motion. Got most of the cancer cut out and patched up. There were some pretty big holes hiding under a lot of bondo. I got all the inside stripped out and had the inside of the tub Rhino Lined. That made it look so much better. Now i have started tearing apart the front axle from my '78 getting ready to rebuild it so i can put it under the '81 to gain disc brakes. After that i'll have to get a new exhaust system, the current system is scatered from C-view to FWB.  All i have left is part of the header.
Here is a link to some pictures. Scroll to the bottom for the most recent.

Mudbug81 - did you post to the wrong thread? This is supposed to be about Ugly Betty, not "What did you do to your Landcruiser this week?"

Sorry, my bad. I guess when I am a day or two away I should read back some earlier posts to get my head back in gear.
