I think I'm ready! Didn't give the vit any more coats of paint so still a little patchy but its all good!
Expecting some nice weather for it :-)
What time are people planning on getting there/setting off to go there?

Between midday Sunday and last night I've had the transfer and gear boxes out and back in, inspected clutch and cleaned linkage, replaced wheel bearings on 3 corners and adjusted the 4th including removing shafts cleaning swivels and greasing CVs, transfer box now in RW cradle, stripped cleaned and tried to improve x-eng, went to remove a 2nd rear prop which turned out to be just as bad as my current one.
Tonight I need to do gearbox and diff oils, try to make rear prop slide fit tighter?!?!.......
Then she should be good.

I'm in the workshop tonight checking it over.
Do my usual...check fluids, give stuff a wobble to check for play, jack each wheel up to see if any bearings are noisy or have play.....
Might actually clean it?
Depending on the weather forcast might fit the half doors.

That's some good effort!
I tell a lie, I did actually adjust my handbrake because it didn't actually stop me from moving ha.
My gearbox is so rattly now, I am expecting this weekend to be the death of it

According to every weather thing I've checked it'll be chucking it down. Doors staying on!
If it ticks over...leave it

I want clear skies and sunshine over billing. Think Bahamas. Then I want torrential rain and maybe even a hint of severe flooding in Barton Le Clay. Think Noah.donkeychomp wrote:According to every weather thing I've checked it'll be chucking it down. Doors staying on!
Anyone living in/near Milton Keynes/Barton Le Clay, I am kidding, ok?
Sort of...

Probably leave Swindon around 3-4 depending what time Scottie makes it to mine. Anyone who wants to join the convoy from Swindon PM me for my address.

So far, I think you're winning the "did most stuff to prepare" trophy...dan_2k_uk wrote:Between midday Sunday and last night I've had the transfer and gear boxes out and back in, inspected clutch and cleaned linkage, replaced wheel bearings on 3 corners and adjusted the 4th including removing shafts cleaning swivels and greasing CVs, transfer box now in RW cradle, stripped cleaned and tried to improve x-eng, went to remove a 2nd rear prop which turned out to be just as bad as my current one.
