Well what can I say
I have been a bit busy not in the sense the Jeep has not progressed but that I have not had time to update the picture library!
What has happened since I last wrote on the blog well.....
1) We finished stripping it back to the bare bones (Well metal).
2) Repairs to the chassis completed
3) Primer, Undercoat (Chassis Black) and then US Army green final coat.
4) Rear and front axle have been removed taken apart and inspected any problems resolved with new shiny bits!!!!!
5) All brakes have been taken apart and the following replaced.
- Brake Disks
- Brake Shoes
- Brake servo
- All new Brake lines and hoses.
6) Re- assembly of chassis complete so we now have a rolling chassis!!!!
This is part reason why I haven't had time to update the blog!
So here is a few snaps of the progress.
