well been mucking around with the jeep again (it's becoming a habit)
have pulled right hand wheel ass apart and have done the king pin bearings reconditioned the front shocks!!!! a paint and the best bushes i could find in my garage fitted them tonight unloaded all the spare crap on the jeep then went for a drive welllllll died lots before the end of the drive pushed across the road to let neighbour out of drive while i was sitting there trying to get her started the b#@$!%$@#!@Y COPS DROVE PAST bout the 4th time in 4 years?? locked at me and keep going phewwww about to give up and put her away and she went almost like a dream so up and down the road i went 1st gear then 2nd whooh she lives and the best thing i could even change down from 2nd to 1st,a few of the neighbours came out to she what was going on

well might replace the ht leads this week and if fine go for a warrant of fitness on saturday

now waiting on windscreen to turn up and am going to build a tailgate then swap the off road tyres on to the jeep rims and have a play!!

well the play will wait
carby piddling all over the place and can't afford to rebuild it this week est $225 + but on the bright note got my warrent of fitness on monday still need tailgate and windscreen I did buy the pipe for rollbar/cage so can still tow it to work to be done will keep on plodding away might chance the carby to a stromberg off a holden 186 as others have done or one off a landy if i need to (read cheaper or easier)
