well  i tried the fuel pump relay  but that seemed to be working so i forced fed the pump with a 12v feed but nothing not even a dribble out of that fuel line,   so out with the angry grinder and made a new access panel

checking with a test light there is  12v going into the pump and the earth is good   but  it refuses to even give the slightest impression of wanting to work,   will test it again on the bench when i worked out how those plastic pipe clips release

i guess i need a second hand fuel pump then  ....   anyone ?

right   we are in bussiness at last   i finally cleared a spot in my workshop and made a start
plans have changed a bit but dont they always, it was going to be an unmodified jimny chassis so i could keep it road legal   but not any more lol

i acquired this chassis   which has had the front and the back cut off it   not the end of the world i know, i could weld them back on but have decided  to make it offroad only,

then the big decision   what wheelbase, leave as is or shorten it down a bit
