Seeing as it's been 2.5months since the last post, i ought to entertain you with the next riveting instalment! Laughing

So...it's had:-
in tank pump
Injector loom
Injector seals and washers
Aux belt and tensioner
Clutch kit
Flywheel
Slave cylinder
1 Swivel seal kit
Front discs and pads
Fuel pressure regulator
Rear spring turrets
4 x rear springs and mounting plates
Dynachip remap
Dash bulbs
Genuine Maf

I am hoping the spending is near enough over as it's been quite a pricey resto job and I am also about 300hours into it Shocked
But I think the effort and expense has been worthwhile - there is not a lot left to change on it now!

The reason for the new rear springs was this:-

Not a vast amount of soil had it on its knees!
Previous owner did say the back end was a bit "soft", so i assume it was original springs.

I was never overly happy with the rear spring turrets on the chassis and this gave me the excuse to weld some new ones on, which was actually pretty straightforward.
They weren't rotten, just a bit scabby!

Broken top coil rusted itself to turret

Obligatory sheered bolt head...drivers side bolts came off with ease, passenger side both seized. welded a 12mm bar on and came out easily.

6 nice big fillets per new turret

Slightly less taxing job was changing a couple of dash bulbs...

Aux belt and tensioner and the first new MAF i bought from a local motor factors.
It's a Lucas boxed item, but is actually a useless resistor based MAF rather than hot wire - so it went straight back and a VDO siemens one ordered.

Injectors out for seals..

Two mates 90s joined the remap session for a slightly reduced price:-

Apart from using for a few hundred to check all is well, including some towing of materials back home for some landscaping, it's near enough ready to go up for sale.
It's a bit too much value tied up for me at the moment - work has been quiet and i'd like to find a cheaper double cab of some sorts!
