Radiator appeared today from the other side of the world.
the image makes it look damaged but I think its just the reflections.
I have also sorted out the running issue which turned out to be either air being pulled into the pump or the fuel line was to small. Anyway I changed all the piping and it runs and starts fine with power where expected.
Now for the bad bit, foolishly whilst waiting for the rad I thought i would inspect what is going on under the plastic wheel arches... and BOOM :-
UTTER CARNAGE - I think i am going off land cruisers.
I have decided to use this as a practice for doing what is now only a minor repair on the HJ61. I was just going to plate it all up and take what comes but if I can source some aftermarket wings then I will probably have a go at what Ben did. I also need to drop the tank, the filler was so packed up with years of mud that once I cleaned it off my screw driver had penetrated the main filler pipe and all the others just fell off. What have I started? I only wanted this as a winter run around and as usual I have jumped in and made myself my ermmmm
