It worked for me, if you really want work up to 400 then 500 then 800, as i said i done this by hand to get the worst of the rubbish/glue residue of as it was just chewing everything else up.

So got the 3M kit of eBay, looked at the Meguiars kit but thought you will get better results sanding the lense down first the polishing up rather than just the compound with the Meguiars kit. The lenses themselves were in terrible condition, weather it was a type of glue on it or something...

This shall be getting tried come payday, but as you said, folk from TND don't make much sense, and at least with this you have some paypal protection!

You got the part number for the seal?

Thats the plan, managed to get a bit of it, but need to get decent cleaning stuff again, and top up. Anyone got a part number for the driveshaft seal?

53.33 Euro delivered for the repair kit - So £43 quid.

I'm pretty confident i hope it is just the release bearing, but as you can hear in the vid the lovely noise, it disappears when the clutch is pressed and returns when depressed. Also the pictures, the first one, can it be confirmed if this is the plug to fill the box? (Wingnut shape) as it is...

Hey there, Looking for a set of standard 172 PH2 wheels with decent tread on them - looking to swap a set of 182 wheels with decent tread and in the lovely colour of anthracite! the wheels have a few kerb marks on the them but all tyres are legal but various brands. Can get pictures but it's...

Well what can i say, it's been a while since i have been on here - but the truck has not gone or been forgotten - but finished!! (well for the time being) After discovering i only had rear wheel drive and not the four wheel, this was all sorted - Dam Daihatsu Boxes with all their vacuums &...

You need a licence for the OBD2 for other cars, so just renaults at the minute!

It'll look completly different from just now colour wise! The sanding has been done and once all the work has been done, it's away getting sprayed for me at a cost of £0 all i've had to do really is sand down the body as can been seen in the pic there! the paint scheme won't last long but...

​Some more progress today, got the front axle off to sort the twisting that happens, as the leaf springs have been put on top of the axle to give more clearance, so you need to add box section on the axle to stop the axle twisting. Still needs a little bit finished off before it gets put back on.

​So attacked the Truck today, all the gearbox/transfer box filled with oil and finally a new fuel tank on instead of a temp fix, and we took it a run around the yard - it drives and works, well no brakes yet as we still have the front axel to take off so no point just now!! Todays work started...

​Another little update, The fab work has started, well the ripping out of the rubbish that is there has started, and also the creation of the new fuel tank, yet to get pics of that but will next time i'm down - it's going to be an all day session on sat through the day & night :) Before...

Hopefully going down at somepoint and sanding down the body for the new colour, it's only getting a rough sand down as it will be getting abused so not trying to get it perfect! was meant to be down last night but ended up picking my mate up as he was out off roading and blew a cv in his, so...

​Another little update, Managed to to change the rear shoes & the rear centre brake hose only to discover that one of the rear wheel cylinders was shot, call to Dingbro & £23 later a new one on!! Also managed to finish of the wiring and get the new switch panel in place and plugged in, as...

​Well tackled it yesterday, managed to get the old gearbox/transfer box out - and the new one in, lets just say doing that was not pleasent, the amount of bolts missing in the bellhousing was crazy - so drilled out as many as we could and put new high tensile bolts and locking nuts on. Not got...

Fortunate enough to have access to 2 massive units, one with a two post ramp and the other is a massive unit with loads of space which is waiting for a 4 post and 2 post to go in at some point! ​

Well managed to get it back to our unit, what a balache that was, we had a car to tow a trailer, never had a trailer, got a trailer never had a car to tow it, but got there in the end! Not much done today with it, and never got a before picture, but i've whipped the seats out and cleared all...

Still waiting on all the details to come through mate, only just parted with the cash for it, and it sits up at the off Roading place, think it might be the 2.8 - it was a no brainer to take it, needs a bit off work but the wheels and tyres are worth £400 - £500 alone, it's got the leaf springs...

Well not your usual new toy thread but one that should be fun. Needs a wee bit of work to be made good! but has the potential to be a weapon off road! only picture i have just now is the below one, but will add my own as i go along!! Bargin price too!!

It was much much louder than in the video!

quickest way to pop the Tyre back on :)

Get it done!!

Re: Djw Designs dedicated track toy project Ha Ha - as long as you have plenty of cable ties everything will be fine!

Just out of curiosity, how easy / hard is it to check the timing on a 197? i've had a search but couldn't find anything?

This will be an interesting thread, will keep an eye on it :)

Regardless that its shopped - all it is / would is a beetle lowered with stellies and a bit of paint on the tyres! not exactly the best!
