Rolling Chassis



Back on all fours.! Sorry Neil you cant have my wheels and tyres!!)
Front axle rebuilt, both sides stripped and new swivels fitted seals and nuts and bolts.
What a carry on i had with the inner bearings though. Bloody Britpart or should i say Shitpart!!! they have starting using a new manufacturer for the inner bearings, they must be bloody chineese or something, got 2  from my very good friend Rupert Leng of Leng androver, one was old stock he had and the  other one he got in specially. so needless to say one fitted and one didnt. thought i was going mad so of course made a cup of tea and asessed the job with fresh eyes.... still didnt bloody fit. so i made a phone call to Rupert who also thought i was going mad. Anyway long story short, turns out Shitpart are churning these things out in there  thousands and they dont bloody fit.

Soo after Many cups of tea and jaffa cakes etc  got the axles and suspension on and fitted new steering arms and ball joints and i think Neil will agree its looking  pretty good.
