Ha ha. Pointless dragging them all into the shed for a few days. Plus they might get angle grinder spray on them if I start on a spare rear axle case I've got this week.

Just as I finally get some 31s every one moves to 33s.

But do look good. Wish my Mrs would let me keep parts in the kitchen
Sid James gone but never forgotten
Jimny 1.6 not as good as an SJ but still good
