Cheers mate it was a hard 4 days putting in 12 hours. Fortunately my inlaws have a huge garage the only problem is height so i had to let the tyres down to get it through the door.




I cant tell you what i used to compress the suspension because she will kill me.

Very nice! Did you find the tinting easy enough to do yourself? Also, are those catches on the outside of the roof standard, as mine doesn't have them?

Tinting the windows was a total pain as the environment was all dusty and dirty. You need a very clean place to do them. The slider was horrid too. The catches are standard. How do you keep your roof down?

Yeah, we were advised to call a bloke out to do the windows rather than have a go ourselves but I'm still considering it.

Our roof has a single catch inside at the front and a lever at the rear which locks it into place when down. Must be slightly different models.

Lots of hard work done there Tony, should keep you on the road for a few years to come
Are you putting your alloys back on?

Alloys mmmmmmmmmmmmm no not in the foreseeable future. Money is very tight here at the moment. I have managed to acquire another set of standard wheels which i intend to get powder coated either black or gunmetal.
Keeping it on the road is my aim i'm not too fussed how it looks and it doesn't bear close scrutiny.

Yep you have been really busy there you must be well chuffed getting so much done .

can't wait to get stuck into mine now , just have to see what the MOT brings tomorrow

Good luck with the MOT mate.

I have just fitted the JK rear bumper OMG this has to be the biggest pile of turd i have ever had the misfortune to fit.

And finally the finishing touch.

looks fine - what was the problem with it?

The holes at the back didn't line up and required drilling out . The plastic end caps didn't fit. I didn't even bother trying the bottom bolts. You can see the press marks. The bumper flexes twists and turns and when you tighten the bolts up it dents the bumpers. I have given it loads of paint.
