Well here are the update pics as promised;-
At last here is a long overdue update
The current state of affairs - we have a rolling chassis
Did I mention that "everything" has been rebuilt to new, wheel bearings and seals, steering knuckles, ARB air lockers installed, new fr disk rotors and pads, disk calipers rebuilt, rear wheel cylinders are new, rear brake shoes and springs are new, new diff bearings and seals, birfields were checked and rebuilt.
New leaf springs are Hell Creek 2.5 inch lift with new greasable shackles and PU bushes, new U-bolts.
I also started work on the motor
Removed all the anciliaries and pulled of the head
The pistons and rings look perfect still, and the cylinder wall shows no signs of wear, or grooves or even a lip.
This is the bent push rod.
