You will have read  how I ended last seasons driving..... SEE HERE

And how after a summer of boating I returned to start some work...SEE HERE

And how I am not alone in this task....SEE HERE

Well with bookings coming in for the BigJimny Meet at Tong, my trailer booked for the event and the boat put away for the winter its time to start.....

 

Andy has sent in some pictures of his leading/trailing arms following a trip out laning in the Peak District as some consolation for me!

 

As you can see, Andy straightened his by judiciious use of a metal bar being dropped onto the bend.

 

Well the weather has conspired against my "summer of fun" on the boat. We had a great week away boating, but since then the weather has closed in and we have not had an opportunity to go out.

Here is a memory of what July was like....

So that means I have returned to my winter sport - the  Jimny.

I started the axle rebuild last night and its not gone too smoothly. The main problem is how to get enough height to drop the axle off underneath the car. With the car having a suspension lift and been generally modified the articulation of the suspension on my car is quite good, which is just what you do not need when trying to drop the axle off.

Now don't panic, I am not giving up (yet!)
