So got the axle off and it was in a bit of a state

stripped the brakes and back plates off to clean it up as much as I could with a wire wheel

tapped up the areas I needed and gave it all a coat in black

Managed to get the axle back on tonight along with my Gizfab panhard rod not properly adjusted yet only by eye will get a full geo setup once it’s back on the road

Then moved on to the rad had issues with the original grommets fitting the half rad fitting kit so took some advice from @Claymore and sorted some other out cheers bud!

Haven’t attached the hoses yet as I may get a different fan for the rad instead of the ones that cable tie through, also fitted the RW developments expansion tank

Update time she’s finally back on all 4 no more stands 😂🙌 

still needs to go back up as I haven’t fitted the wilwoods yet but managed to get the axle back to together new rear wheel bearings, discs pads & calipers back on

Still need to do some adjustment on the suspension to get it sitting right but the wider wings has definitely helped with the fitment on the front may need some adjustment on the rear

also decided to strip the rear and spray it only done it in high build primer at the moment till I get some more 040 white but it’s a start

Forgot to update this in a while and definitely don’t have as many photos as I’d like 🤦🏼‍♂️ 

just been trying to plumb all the electrics in hook up the vacuum lines etc 

also made up some fuel lines
