Fuji Shooter Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Looking really good Lee. I think if you bump Bonni over a bit there is room for a second project to be slotted in alongside. Perhaps a Sankey trailer to go with it. That rewire looks an interesting job though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 iv no room as it is could maybe fit a bike in there, but my mate said im not allowed anything else till this is done and not that im doing any of the wiring it did look simple from looking at the bits that are done, plug and play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji Shooter Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Have you ever driven a Series Land Rover before you embarked on the project? I always wanted a Split Screen Camper, finally got one and spent 2 years rebuilding it. First day I drove it when it was finished I thought "Why on earth" and sold it the next day. Wish I still had it now though. Edited August 18, 2016 by Fuji Shooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"hay yer gort a lite boy"......"hay yew gort a lite" did you ring JSF for a price on fuel lines ? yes i did but i couldnt explain what i needed really as i didnt have a clue, then my mate got some from a place just a few mile away turned out all we needed was some pipes of various thickness, £23, i was nearly ordering £180s worth from JSF, think that was for everything, injector pipes the lot rite, the dash, i put the plate and parcel shelf back on the bottom bit of the dash then realised id forgot to put this bar thing back in, looks like it opens up the vents under the dash .

viking Posted August 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 part of that wire thing did go through the dash some where so im presuming it goes to that bar, but i dont remember it being connected anywhere im presuming it should connect to be able to open the vents, god knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
