That's because it is Brand new as in has been sitting around unused since MGR went bust it cost me £600 wheras if I had ordered just the broken or bent bits from Rimmer to fix the damage would have cost more so replacing the entire thing is a far better thing to do even if it makes the job a bit longer and I have a load of spares to sell for when someone damages there off side!

I have one it came with the rear stuffup just not fitted it yet thanks

Just need to find a suitable 63mm ID x 95mm joiner for the centre section as the OEM part is silly money! and I want one with straps not those horrid U bolt things.

Lesser owners may have given up :)

Tremendous respect to you Sir :bowdown:

Hi Dave
The annoying thing is I sold my 4 post ramp earlier this year as I am not really doing the kind of things I used to and now I really could have done with it.
It is a bit tight under the stands and I really want to give the underside a good clean up whilst I have all the obstructions out of the way so I am going to get a tad messy under there!

Rolling again
 
Rear sub frame all fitted I have even cleaned up the Xpowers as well as they were very tarnished.

Bucket on right is because we had so much rain yesterday my carport sprung a leak!

Powder coated front sub frame, new front struts rack etc. - old struts were a bit too rusty to be worth repainting and were just starting to leak as well.

http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m...T/DSCN0241.jpg

I gave the rear Bilsteins a fresh coat of paint kept my old disks and callipers as there are perfect so no point using up the brand new ones I have.

My horn upgrade is so much better than the original single one as well - got a proper horn again!

I Went for a shakedown run around the field today hence the grass on the wheels!

Just finished stripping out the remainder of the interior so now almost ready to go to the body shop.

As I said getting the new steering rack in meant I had to remove the front subframe so I couldn't just leave it all rusty.... as it would sulk seeing as the rear is all shiny!

Shot Blasted Zinc Primed and Powder coated :)

New rack fitted and another to do job done as well new PS hose as my old one had a leak which I was going to deal with anyway.

Fascinating thread this Keith. Hats off to you for doing such a sterling job:bowdown:

Keith 6th August 2012 12:06

Whilst I was at it I did the hanbrake compensator mod as well
One observation for those struggling to get the two torx screws out of the side of the console, why bother?

It is easier to remove the armrest cubby box as you need too for access to the compensator anyway and then undo the two 8mm bolts securing the bracket that the torx screws go into, well I found it easier anyway.

Looking good Keith, I'm in total awe at what you've accomplished :bowdown::bowdown:
