Well got the chassis finished today
Looks really good in the black finish. Not super smooth due to the tar like substance that was already on it, decided not to remove it as would have been a lot of effort and in my mind it is providing it with another later of protection
Got the suspension rams and axel back on all nicely copper greased up.
Then flipped her back over so I could coat the top. Sadly I forgot to take a picture of her fully painted in black but you get the idea
Away this weekend but will stay putting more things on when I get a chance. I have the rear light brackets to fit and the wiring to run. All here ready to go but going to let the chassis go off for a few days
Not done anything forward of the front cross member as that will be chopped off for the surgery (hopefully next week) 07 Java Black TD V6 D3, EGRs Blanked, Tow bar, Full dog guard & divider, LED Spots , DRLs, GG ATs, RLD Sump guard, RLD Spare Wheel Protector, D4 LED Rear Lights, Limo tints on boot and Midnight tint on rear windows, Kenwood screen with Garmin nav, Rear cameras, D4 Steering wheel with flappy paddles, T-max split charge system, Tree sliders, Prospeed roof rack & Ladder, Alisport fast road inter cooler,

I got a few hours in this evening and got my rear lights test fitted.
The eagle eyes ones among you will notice I have moved the light brackets out this will give me more width as I have got wider wheels
So just got to make up some small pieces of metal to fix them on neatly then once I have got the legs on they will be solid 07 Java Black TD V6 D3, EGRs Blanked, Tow bar, Full dog guard & divider, LED Spots , DRLs, GG ATs, RLD Sump guard, RLD Spare Wheel Protector, D4 LED Rear Lights, Limo tints on boot and Midnight tint on rear windows, Kenwood screen with Garmin nav, Rear cameras, D4 Steering wheel with flappy paddles, T-max split charge system, Tree sliders, Prospeed roof rack & Ladder, Alisport fast road inter cooler,

Well finally got the brake shoes modified and fitted
Was unable to find some narrow track shoes and the original ones were gone!
So I got some series rear shoes and they just needed a small amount trimming off the ends to shorten the shoe. The diameter was the same
Then got them fitted a lot of backwards and forwards to the bench grinder to slowly take off a little bit each time.
One of the hubs does not seem to spin as well as the other so before I do anything else I am going to take it all part again. Clean all the bearings again and then re-pack and but it all back together. The other side is super smooth. So not sure why that one is not
Then hopefully wheels on finally and I can take it for a tow with the tractor as I don't have a NATO hitch 07 Java Black TD V6 D3, EGRs Blanked, Tow bar, Full dog guard & divider, LED Spots , DRLs, GG ATs, RLD Sump guard, RLD Spare Wheel Protector, D4 LED Rear Lights, Limo tints on boot and Midnight tint on rear windows, Kenwood screen with Garmin nav, Rear cameras, D4 Steering wheel with flappy paddles, T-max split charge system, Tree sliders, Prospeed roof rack & Ladder, Alisport fast road inter cooler,
