restoration after 10 years in the driveway

got the bushes fitted at a local garage, money well spent. and found a professional ally for the restoration.
finished painting them, sanded all round the mountings and repainted,
rubbed down a lot of the rest of the rear diff. dont like the silver so painting it unexciting black
will fit them tomorrow, also new shocks and re-fit the exhaust,
then I;m ready to start the jimny again, first time since tank was removed

then its brake lines, then time to turn it around and get the front end up.

a lot has happened with the jimny since September, will post some new pictures soon. once I get out from underneath with the welding. ba weather and various finacial drains interuppted things, but last few weeks has seen steady progress.

just one photo taken a few days ago
more tomorrow
with a description of progress
 

Some excellent progress.  It's amazing how much you can get done yourself when you get stuck into it.  At least now you'll have had a good examination of most components and be happier in the knowledge you've given them an increased lifespan.  

In my experience, heat is definitely your friend with older motors and it looks like you're just about there with it.

thanks,

was really busy so didnt manage to take photos and post.

rewired rear bumper loom and put a decent connector on before it passea through the bodywork, also renewed wiring from the connector to the mess which was lurking behind the body panel. I tidied up the mess during spaghetti time.
