Ulysses

Really looking forward to seeing this all put together and finished, looks amazing so far!

Change of plans today so a bit more fiddling been done.

Lambert was going to meet me for the transfer guard at the job I was meant to be doing, but instead came all the way out to where I live for the guard, a good chinwag and a bacon butty . Top bloke and great to put another Jimny face to a name.

So after all that there wasnt much time. Had a bit of a tidy up and started with the front end. Bonnet plates fitted with some black pop rivets and looking good



Then headlight masks and the small bonnet front air vents. Not bad. Need to fiddle about with panel gaps on the wings and lights but thankfully they have oval holes in the fitting points for this.

Yep brilliant to meet another member in person. Great bloke. Some people would argue that 5 hours in the saddle to do the postmans job for him is daft, they would be wrong! And I got a sneak peek at Ulysses too, what an epic bit of equipment that is going to be. Oh and Ric I'm not wanting to make you jealous or anything but got home with about another 50 mile in the tank /smug face/. Anyway thanks for the guard and also the wise counsel.

There is something about the black on red and the eyebrows that make for an angry face..... very "get out of my way"... Love it....

Front axle casing back on with springs and shocks...





...and managed to get the nice 26 spline trailgear shafts/CVs in as well. Not as much progress as I wanted today, but the panhard rod was putting up a fight to get it adjusted (an old Jimnybits HD one from J999MNY). The springs and shocks were looking a bit crusty so have been on the rack for a fresh coat of paint as well. Think I even have some spare 'Trailmaster by MAAS' stickers somewhere to go on hopefully.

Looking pretty good for getting the front finished together tomorrow morning hopefully. Onto the rear, but Im away for the rest of the day so that will have to wait to next week.

Excellent work. It's basically going to be a new car!
