Maybe one day.
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.

Re: Anton's build
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

Re: Anton's build
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.
