Thanks guys!

Day of pipes and hoses today. Specifically breather hoses for axles, transfer box and gearbox.

I had tapped threads into the axles and t-box when they were off, and the gearbox just needed extended. Pipes tie wrapped under the car with some loops for movement and routed up to the battery area. Smaller airlines are for the ARB air locking diffs.





Joined the breathers together and took two pipes out to stick out of the plastic below the windscreen, then up the snorkel. Convenient drain used to get the pipes up through the scuttle panel...





view from inside the wheel arch:



Then made a neat little plate to mount the air compressor and manifold on. Had to move the screenwash bottle so made a plate for that as well.





Then the final hose thing was the fuel filler pipework. Little bracket and it fits neatly enough...





Finally moved it outside for a wash. Very dusty so looks good. No brakes however so it was a bit tricky and nearly hit the landlords van :laugh:





Really need to get the brakes bled and see whats causing the ABS light to be on next. Wire up lights and checkover for MOT after that

So good to see it outside.

Did the eyelids blink when they hit the sunlight? :laugh:
