Congratulations, Hamsteh.

Thanks a lot mate! Been a long time coming, but hopefully passed these last few exams and should get my pieces of paper in a month or two!

Looks like it has a wheel alignment issue there MM....

Today I pulled the bullbar off to allow the installation of my chassis plates and then finished off the steering box fitment, what a fun job....

Plates are all fitted and painted with underbody deadener.
Steering box brace was a failure, it fitted perfectly due to using a front clip as a template but the engine was in the way, so I cut one end off and just fitted the drivers side so it will at least help a bit till I can get around to making a new one...

With the V8 in it, he will never have the front wheels on the ground so it wont matter !!

Had some fun last nite with my jeep. The rebuilt starter went in and the new drivers side engine mount. Wasnt that hard to put back in as it was to take out! Usually its the other way around
The car now starts much better, the lead that goes from the solenoid to the starter was loose so the starter was never getting enough power.
Im more amazed with the difference the engine mount made. The car goes thru the gears easier, 3/4 of all the shaking is gone and it drives much smoother. Its almost like the $385 for the engine mount ws worth it
