Steering rack is mint so will put that on my 1998..

Also cleaned up engine bay on my 1998 thinking of sanding priming and.repaintong also

Lot of hard work again, love your perseverance

I love the term 'prop shaft', stemming from the old maritime 'propeller shaft' before cars were even invented. Britain invented the original prop shaft and I wish we were still building most of the world's ships.

Our tea bags are drying on the washing line ready for a second use, just a normal occurrence in yorkshire

On big Elgrand jobs you need a few big tools ...!

 

[robert edwards]

the only big tool on my Elgrand jobs is me

 

[HoopDogg]

Little brothers are sometimes useful for something...

I think this will be a common sight for Elgrand owners after a few weeks of lockdown.

 

[E51brighton]

Gearbox all disconnected.
All bolts slackened off except one little bugger very top of the 2 on passenger side .

Starter motor off so tomorrow get that hidden bugger off and torque plate bolts out and hopefully pull engine.. now it's time for tools down for the day .. my shoulders ache lol ...
Brain needs to regenerate and my belly is rumbling.

 

[Ozzy225]

Finally fitted my SGS boot struts!! What a difference they make

 

[E51brighton]

Decided to do a bit more ..and break the camels back !!
Or my own !

I am probably going to cut off the bonnet latch plate to.fit donor engine then weld back on ...

 

[dognero]

Watched mine on the security cam getting wet.
But at least I can clean it when the weather picks up

 

[Parky]

Washed her and then put on her new shoes. Not sure what I think about the arch gap. Lowering springs might be the next purchase!

The missus wasn’t impressed that I was out for so long, but she’ll get over it eventually!
