Nice bit of progress, hand brake disconnected, gearbox and high and low transfer box sensor connectors removed, steering column unbolted, still have to do the fuel tank.
Sorted out driver side floor that got damaged with the tractor when I lowered the jeep off its side the time i used the bale handler to lift the jeep onto its side. What a muppet anyway. Timber prop got wedged under the floor as the weight of the jeep came down on it.
So two pices of flat one under the floor braced bewtween cross member and transfer box chassis mount . Tightened the bolt and pulled the plates together leveling the driver side floor .Highlight of the day really.

Getting there
Pulled the rad. Will be buying a new one.
Slow day, got the fuel tank disconnected didn't attempt the bolts at filler cap end, broke the wire clamp, got all the all electrics, the two brake banjos on the chassis between the engine and the bulkhead, the sensor switch from the catalytic converter, the transfer box sensor,
Now this works but puts a strain on the seat belt bolt location.
Good idea to take off the gearbox , gear stick.
Though this was the speedo cable now i think its the clutch cable this is from the bullk head drivers
This is where it goes in at the gear box end
Found the answer here www.bigjimny.com/mediawiki/index.php/Clutch_replacement
this is what ill be doing in the morning.

Good progress, you will be on the road within the fortnight at this rate! Is the workshop yours or borrowed?

Lambert, mine, built it in 2006 as I was building my house. Had lived in London for 6 years in the 1990s and was always out on the street under some Landrover in the wet and promised myself Id build a decent shed if I ever got the money together.
