time for an update, spent a a good half a day on the moke today, installing everything from the wheel to the gearbox, hubs, flanges, rotors, shockers etc

now to start bolting things in the engine bay on getting ready to get it towed to the auto elec in january

Did you get the drive shafts when you bought the conversion?

indeed i did

They should hold on fine then, we broke one. Not sure what we ended up doing for the fix. It was in Newcastle and we had to jump the train to even get home (had absolutely no $$ at all at the time) then had to get a lift back to Newcastle with the parents. They might have paid to get a new shaft made from memory. Anyways... That whole ordeal sucked

both seemed to be sleeved and welded,

sounds like a crappy situation, but a memorable story

i dont suppose you have any engine shots of the car ?

id love to see how the front engine mount sat

I'll dig through some pics on the PC when I get home some time tomorrow. I'll have at least one

hmm its nice to have a good quality engine bay pic.. damn shame it doesnt show the engine mounts,

so these pics are it ? no more on your computer ?

it was nice and sunny today so i rolled the moke out (yes it rolls , although some bastard left it in gear ), gave it its first quick clean and took some pics for you all, it really give me inspiration to work on it when you pass a small milestone like on stands to rolling, feels like its getting somewhere

went down to the mechanics today,

they have almost finished the brakes on the moke,

here are some pics,







next ill take it to the Auto elec and they will splice the Sirion loom into my new Moke loom, and get the car running for me

Looking good!!

i haven't posted for a little while, the moke has been at the auto electricians for a week or so (admittedly sitting there not getting worked on much :/) but should hopefully be finished within 2 weeks then ill bring it home for the final touches,

heres some pics part way through the process of doing the wiring and electrics




Nick
