Haven't really done much over the last month or so. Test fitted the rear top sections, needed a little bit of die grinding here and there otherwise it came out ok.

Will grab a few this evening when i head back to the shed, i always thought the 42's all came out with 5 speed? I'm considering making a fibreglass mould of this plate since so many people PM'ed me about it.

Love your build up, i hope mine ends up somewhere as good as yours! Was your BJ42 originally green? i've been stripping mine lately and found it to be a darker green than the "olive grey"

I finally went out and bought some argon gas, this makes a world of difference welding. I was previously using the gasless wire and people kept telling me i couldn't weld which is partially true since it's all new to me however i think my welds in the latest patching efforts are 100 times...

Managed to get a few small things done. Rear window frames painted, still need to put some clear coat on them. First coat of 'cygnus white' on the roof. 2nd or 3rd coat of 'flyweight' filler Spray putty/primer ready for sanding All primed :D

I think when i manage to find a set, i'll make a fiberglass mold and make a few. Planning on throwing a rear drawers in the back of my LX then making the arm rest hole flush on the copy. PS. love your BJ42! I have to admit i'm slightly envious how tidy yours is :P

I've got 2 BJ42 h55f top plates which i'd glady swap for the above mentioned panels

You wouldn't know the name for these interior panels? I've hunted high and low to find a set to no avail :frown:

Apparently i can't put body filler over existing paint so it was back out with the grinder yesterday. While it was back to bare steel, i cut and welded the panels a little straighter then started again with the filling. :bang: Not to sure how straight these things were from factory...

This will need to be pried out of my cold dead hands first, it took 3 years of nagging a poor old guy to sell it to me. Probably should of wrote on the post above, it's a 1984 BJ42 LX with aircon, power steering and 5 speed gearbox. Once the panel work is done i'll look at swapping to the 1hz...

I finally figured i'd make a forum post about my BJ42, i've been lurking around the forum for a while now (since i bought my BJ42) just for general tips and info. Before i molested her with an angle grinder The aftermarket security keeping guard on the good stuff. Anyway one day i...

Finally, found it!!! Gearless center diff Gearless Centre Diff by Gearing Dynamics

What's the chances it's a slip yoke eliminator?

had a quick look in there earlier today, it takes fine spline, then inside is a loose larger spline with less splines, then back out to the tailshaft as fine spine, all shafts are different lenghts to the broken one so i cant really adapt it to fit. was hoping to avoid pulling apart the...

in the photo posted above the left is the rear output shaft bearing retainer that came off the broken gearbox on the right is the replacement, the piece bolted to it is what i'm unsure of as its not mentioned in any of the manuals. the output shaft bearing retainers are slightly different in...
