Margaret's Rebuild (Round 2) |
|

|
Margaret my 1975 88" series 3 was involved in an accident with a |
|
tractor last week and so I decided to rebuild her for a second |
|
time. Below are a couple of pics of the damage sustained |

|
Day 1 of rebuild: |
|
Started by removing the bonnet, and disconnecting the wiring |
|
loom for the wings (Its usually hidden in conduit which was |
|
removed before taking the photo |

Bonnet stay removed |

|
Then removed the drivers side wing (Below are a few pics of the |
|
fasteners holding the inner wings in place). |
|
Bolts going into footwell (13mm) |

|
There is also a small bolt above the steering box mudguard |
|
holding it on too (11mm) |

The bolts going into the J clips are 11mm |

|
The drivers side wing was a right PITA to remove because of how |
|
it had buckled, I had to cut an access hole out the side to get |
|
at the bulkhead bolts. The passengers side one came away lovely. |
|
Im glad i copper slipped all the bolts last time, everything |
|
came apart easily. |
|
A shot showing the buckled dumbirons, this is the only chassis |
|
damage and it has resulted in the axle being misaligned giving |
|
me tracking issues. you can't see the damage looking head on or |
|
from above, only if you look from the side |

|
Next the front panel was removed, first I disconnected the |
|
bottom hose and drained the coolant into a tub. Whilst this was |
|
happening, I removed the earth wire which was attached to it |
|
with P-clips. |

|
The 3 13mm bolts holding the panel to the chassis were then |
|
removed and the panel lifted out of the way |
|

http://s1126.photobucket.com/user/110samec/media/PB290575.jpg.html][IMG]http://… |
|
I was a bit bored so decided to tidy the engine up a bit, I |
|
removed the fan and the alternator and gave the front half of |
|
the block a quick first coat of eau-de-nil engine enamel (The |
|
colour I originally wanted). This is much brighter with a better |
|
finish and gives a nicer contrast to the marine blue |

|
so thats all thats been done today, next job I'll do is probably |
|
remove the front axle and give that a good looking at whilst im |
|
waiting for my repair panels to turn up |

that will keep you busy for a wee while, but it will be worth |
|
the effort when shes back on the road. |

If all goes to plan then Im hoping for it all to be done around |
|
new year (will be flat out during christmas break). It will also |
|
be going back in a new and improved format with a couple of mods |

Had though about it but cant afford it at the minute. The drums |
|
have been fine since getting the new servo though so have no |
|
issues with the brakes, they are on the agenda in the long term |
|
though as much more maintenace friendly than drums (Dont have to |
|
adjust them). |
|
Another few long term modifications/ replacements will be a |
|
stainless exhaust and new springs |

|
Also decided to mod the transfer box with bits from the roamer |
|
drive, these bits being the bottom sump plate and the dipstick |
|
conversion. these will i feel make it easier to live with and |
|
hopefully stop the transfer box from pissing everywhere. |
|
I do also have some galv diff guards somewhere which may go on |
|
(Will be painted black though, the galv may look a bit gay) |

|
Little more progress today, I dropped the front of the axle down |
|
giving me better access to the dumbirons. Doing a mesurement |
|
between front crossmember and end of dumbiron revealed that the |
|
one dumbiron has crumpled in by 20mm which has pushed the axle |
|
back on that side which is what sent my tracking out. Also |
|
measured between the chassis spring bush and the front hangar |
|
and that measurement confirmed this so luckily no damage aft of |
|
the crossmember. |
|
Also took off my track rod and drag links, these will be |
|
replaced by HD items I purchased. They seem much more |
|
substantial. checked all the swivels and brake bits and they all |
|
seem fine, no play anywhere and all moves freely as it should so |
|
I should be able to put the new drag links on, give everything a |
|
coat of paint and then put it all back together once i get my |
|
replacement dumbirons on. Also come up with a mighty fine idea |
|
for a jig for the replacement bits! |
|
Pics to follow tomorrow hopefully as will get the steering relay |
|
out as well as maybe putting some new bits on but we shall see! |
|
Also sorted wings out so all i need for the rebuild now is to |
|
buy a new screenwash/ wiper switch and dumb iron replacements. |

Keep doing thee good work mate. I have stainless exhaust (fitted |
|
last month) and it sounds bluddy good to me (an item you fit and |
|
don't have to ever think about again). |
|
Also fitted gb parabolics and can recommend them too, a much |
|
smoother ride.... |
