Nothing exciting. Its a big 200litre 3hp compressor and the proper upol raptor adjustable gun. Both were fairly pricey, but at least the compressor can do many other things. A proper respirator mask is essential too (strong fumes).Thanks for the offer to borrow Pal
Could you tell me the set up you're using i might go and buy one
Thanks

I see what you mean, its actually an old t-shirt I was using to wipe down before painting, but yes it looks like a squashed moggy

Got a few hours this afternoon in the garage and managed to get bumper, bonnet plates, winch and cage back on. Tipper body and rear end tomorrow.
and do you like my little winch on the beam? I think Mr health-and-safety might have something to say about it

Yes little winch on the beam was a massive help. Last time I had it off the grey Jimny was still about, so used its winch and a pulley block. Little winch is just as handy for this job, but only 250kg rated as a single line pull (not that I would want to hang much more weight from the beam anyway).
Further fiddling today has got the back end on all back together apart from the load bed cover and spare wheel.
All lights wired back in and the tipper and cover rams reconnected too. Popped on a couple of red reflector triangles on the tailgate as I felt it was a bit hard to see from behind at night.
A bit more WAR black paint applied to underside parts and welded one of the cage to chassis legs back on as it had parted company.
Rear wheel arches got a bit more of a trim to stop them rubbing on the body and I have adjusted the fuel filler thing so it doesn't rub either.
New fixings all round as the old bolts were looking a bit crusty on the new paint.
Booked in for the BigJimny meet now as well so looking forwards to that, but our first outing is in May. I may sneak a local wander about in before then though
