short zook

[andyrew]

well, progress has been slow as im working looooonnnnggg days at work currnetly,

i took a trip to see paul (silverzuke on difflock) for some rear belts , a gearbox (for my pick up) and some spanish calipers , the calipers on the anus are the standard asin ones, which are prone to seizing the spanish ones are smidgingly less prone to this so i opted for a set as apparently the anus pulls to the left under breaking. put in a best offer for some new brake pads on ebay £4 + postage , bargain!. fitted now just in need of bleeding , had help from my little nephew he is 5 and is very excited that his "mummy" will be driving in the muddy stuff with him. front wheels and wheel spacers have been removed and the wheels have been trail fitted to my truck. next up is a diff oil change and engine oil change. need to sort a battery too.

[albertross74]

you keen to sell the wheel spacers?

[andyrew]

i may be selling them , i have two sets now, ones the solid set with the studs , the other are the stud extentions with the spacer these would probably be up for grabs, need to see what muds sit like on both jeeps first

It bloody does now

This little wagon is on 120k now and used daily and thrashed occasionally.
Not looking as pretty as the first photos ill admit but has truly been
An awesome little motor. Shes serviced regularly but is starting to
Get a bit tired engine wise and rot is creeping in.

So its time the old girl gets a bit of loving. It will be a bit at
A time as its my daily but sills and arches will be first.

Theres also a 70k vit lump sat waiting.

Love that 'lil zook Andy...that battery cost a bit didn't it?

Small bit at a time don't want this off the road too long. Can't imagine the Citroen fairing too well off road.
