Maybe one day. :lol:

Not much progress on Antons zuk.
I'm waiting to hear that the rear axles done from richard.
The front axles is stripped and being cleaned and I will be moving the perches and building it when the rear arrives. Then it's just some trimming to clear upfront (spua) and get the old girl running.

I'm going to have to sell her.

The lights aren't working at the moment, not sure why, the fuel pump needs a new positive wiring into the loom, and the engine won't start for some reason. I managed to get the fuel tank back in, but because of my health problems, just doing that near killed me (I have Myocarditis, my heart isn't working right).

I can't keep it because I can't get it through an MOT, and I'm not well enough to work on it. Probably never will be. I'm getting yelled at because where I have it stored shouldn't have vehicles stored. Wife's out of patience, and I'm not seeing an end in sight.

A woman offered a guy at the garage where it's currently (illegally) stored £1500 for it the other day. Pretty sure I have no option but to take her offer (if it still stands).

That is not great news Anton but sometimes you need a sensible head and accept your situation

The other day someone broke into the secure car park where I was storing the SJ and my spares. The SJ was off being un-spoa'd, so that's safe, but they stole my spares box. A massive 3mm steel crate. That thing weighed in at about 1.5 tons (no exaggeration) so they must have had a telehandler or something. 3 men could barely move it across level ground with an engine stand, which I believe was for lorry engines or something.

Apart from the 8 spare diffs I had (one of which was my rear ARB, another was a rear lockright), 2 410 t-cases, a rocklobster, a front 33 spline chromoly shaft kit, it also had my jackstands and various tools in it.

What's the betting they just weigh it in and get like, £60?

Not sure why but two of my spare diffs (the front ARB and an open diff) were in my back garden, so they didn't get *everything*.

Might have to just sell what I have left. I don't have the strength to deal with this stuff anymore, my health is just too rough. I can't even walk to the carpark anymore, let alone go offroading.
