Overhaul for Puddle Jumper.

[shaun]

Phil , Thanks for your reminder of time scales. its so easy to take something apart more than is intended. My aim is to have PJ back on the road for the end of January so i can get on with the MK1. Basically its a strip , inspect, repair and repaint.

Kevin, That time scale sounds fine, im not going to pull the engine out of PJ so it will not be a problem.

I hope christmas has gone to plan for you all and you have had a great time and eaten way to much -i know i have !!

do you remember i said in my last post the engine was not coming out , well change of plan - it is. Got to do it properly . There is lots of muck every where from years of driving. the diff has most of beltring and Holland stuck to it i think.
One of the brake linings is near the rivets the others are all fine, but i will get the full set relined. no other major problem so far ! he are some more photos.

the engine is out, and all washed ready for a fresh coat of paint ( and no i dont class that as a rebuild ha ha ha). I had a friend over to help, he brought his pressure washer , so by the end of the day the Hull is clean and ready for a rub down. Things keep move on !
