Tonight has been quite productive.
Firstly started to remove the loom from the lights. Lens have gone off for a refurb

I have all sorts of bits missing where there should be bits. See the big ugly rusty hole there? Should have been a bolt in there. There wasnt. Why?

I tried to thread the wire through the grommit. It doesnt work that way. Grommit comes with the wire..

Towing eye off and clam came off!

Pleae with the space I have in my double garage. Worth it just for this job!

Pretty sure that pipe isnt supposed to be there like that

Pipe back on. Does anything from factory hold it on? I can see it wiggling its way off again at some point? Mk1 Tie wrap?

No tie wrap ( yet ) but jobs a good un
My attention then turned to the parts that had been under the sea for the last 150 years and the shite stuck in crevices for the past 148 years.
Not too bad Nitrons. Refitted approx 2 years back after a refurb
Scabby AF. I have given it a minor wire brush and its come up better but TBH needs taking apart and coating/blasting/setting on fire.
I only took the clam off to remove the pro alloy aircon rad. Its in this enclosure and you know what? I dont know if I have the energy now I am here to remove the radiator / aircon / chargecooler rad. Thats a lot of liquids to drain and refil. So I turned to cleaning...

Nitrons took a bit of effort but a mile better
You can actually see the chassis is silver not a stained brown. Opposite side in progress

But wait! What is this? Its like something off time team! with the amount of debris and I dont know what caught behind the mudflap.

Sorted that out!

JCB coming next week to clear this lot up!
Thats it for now. I lost feeling in my left knee ( bad ) and am having a word with myself about removing the aircon rad.
