Just packed my job in, il have a few weeks free to get on with this now.
Here's the plan.
More leafs in rear springs, old man emu ones are far to soft (mental flex for photo-shoot the other week though !!!)
Fix rear calipers, fix fan, new starter, new alternator.
Fit beadlocks.
Missing link rear suspension..... Somehow?! Lol
And buy and fit an 8274, I have 4 weeks.

Yeh the new one, need to focus on uni really mate.
Get uni done then go back into full time work, doing both doesn't seem to be working !!
Erm not the issue coming the one after, he mentioned front cover? So that would be nice, but I don't mind either way. Some of the pics he took looked mad !! He took over 500 photos so he said !!

I'll keep an eye out for it in the shops, if your breaking a kja does this mean the end of the tin top?mike harris wrote:Yeh the new one, need to focus on uni really mate.

No just breaking the kja for bits, gone off that idea now. I want to mod mine and just challenge it for a while.

Changed my mind I am not missing linking the rear now.
Just going to weld the shackle mounts back up and get on with the rest of it.
Got so much to do before the challenge as it is, so I have decided Against the links.
Ow yeh I forgot to say, whilst I was at the photo shoot my rear axle breather snapped, so my axles full of silty water. Not sure how long it was like that but I don't think it's very well !!
