Steve, how did the Swedish Made Penis Enlarger Pump work? I'm replacing my gearbox oil tomorrow and need a device to get the new oil in the filler plug. I see you can pick them up at Machine Mart for about £8?

That's more of just a side step than a slider. Wouldn't want to get a whack on that. Get some proper ones.

The guy openly said he couldn't be bothered to search, own fault. Although they can be proper nobs for no reason.

Iv started to get some bits together to do the cambelt. Heres a pulley puller and timing locking pins

A needle torque wrench for setting the tension on the cambet tensioner

Then on to some more jobs, changed he drivebelt, heres the old one, was ready to go imo

New one on

7 litres of Halfords finest EP 80/90 GL4 gear oil

First up drain the transfer box

Magnet collection

Clean

Bit of Hymolar Blue on the threads

Old tx box oil

Drained the axles

Refilled

Old axle oil

Then started to get the rest of the bodywork for the remaining wrap, started off with the fuel filler compartment. Sanded all the bubbling areas smooth

Etch primer

Black inside

Looks a bit messy now, but when the wrap is on it will cover all that overspray

Also my spare wheel cover came, wrinkles will fall out over time

That black bumper bar on the back needs some attention Steve. Looking good though, should look great once it's all wrapped. Get a lift kit on it please

Found a few more pics of my mates old one, was a monster. Quite a bit of engine work done so was quick for what it was. and it sounded like a V8

his had a lift kit and 20mm spacers so sat really nice. Ex SSE vehicle so was extremely well looked after. Got very good money for it when it sold too.
