Watch those two wires at the back of the hydraulic unit .The pressure sender, they are pain for shuttng
down the 4x4 due slightest bump or water getting on them due heavy rain,s"£t when you trying get away
from juction in the wet.
Get the transfer fliud changed as well ,rear diff ,these cars are not the run of the mill do need to be looked after
but enjoy her

Obviously pleased for you, looks nice. Not keen on the red coolant bottle, I imagine the paint will flake off of that easily enough too, but overall looks really nice. Has it had front end damage at some point? The bonnet/grille/headlights don't look very well aligned, you might want to straighten them out a bit.

Good work though, look forward to progress. What are the alloy centre caps by the way? Couldn't make them out?

i was wondering the same as on one of the photos the drivers wing looks different shade from door? (you can tell with how shine/reflection differs where the door meets the wing?..)

I think it looks great tho, and the red is ok - be boring if we were all the same! :thumb

Its not the bonnet thats the problem its the drivers front wing, its to dark, even on that pic above you can tell. It needs the wing painting again and blending into the door, wud look spot on then.
