New member posting here, so please be gentle with me
My MOT is due soon, so I thought I'd get the work started to save myself a mad rush if we get locked down in January. I'd be gutted if it snows / floods and I can't go out to play
I didn't pay a huge amount for my 80, knowing the trade off would be that it would need some work.... since having it I have-
Stripped / rebuilt both diff actuators
Replaced the PAS lines
Removed the side steps
Fit new RT 285/75/16s tyres
Fit new stereo
Fit aux reverse lights
So far my MOT "to do list includes-
a bit of welding / fabricating to:
Bottom of both rear quarters
Both sill to rear arches
12" section of the NS inner sill
Possible bit of the NS inner front arch (not inspected it yet)
Repairs
/ replacement of
ARB bushes (might just lose the ARBs as I'll be fitting new, stiffer springs soon)
Front bearings. Play was an advisory at the last MOT, so I'm going to just do the whole front axle whilst its apart.
Rear brake shoes and handbrake cable.
And whatever the MOT station find!
Whilst I'm at it-
Oil, Fuel, Air filters
Oil change
30mm wheels spacers
2" Peddars lift
CB radio instal
Fit colour matched ally TJM winch bumper / winch
Extended diff/ tranny / box breathers
Should keep me busy for a bit!
