 Re: My Green/White D*lly F698 UFX
I don't think they were... they were due to become part of a fence in my parents garden

 Re: My Green/White D*lly F698 UFX
Sam, don't forget to let me know when you're next there and I'll pop over and get those door panels. I've also got a couple of scaffold poles that you can borrow, if Russ nicks your 4x2s. (You can't use them for your parents' fence though!)

 Re: My Green/White D*lly F698 UFX
I'll be there next weekend, afternoon would be good if you want to pop over. My 4x2s will be staying, thanks for the offer though

 Re: My Green/White D*lly F698 UFX
Started looking at my 'new' passenger door which I got from Joe back in 2010. It's been dry stored since then (and I think Joe had it in the dry too).  Gave it a gentle wipe down with some car wax and warm water then cleaned it up with G3.  Starting to look really good. The only area of concern is the from bottom corner, but it's nothing too bad, the door still has plenty of metal and life in it.  Cleaned it up and got it mostly back to bare metal before treating it with HyDrate80 by Bilt Hamber.  Filled the sills, A, B and C posts with Bilt's Dynax S50. Used about a litre and a half so far.   Finally, having left the MANY layers of paint to harden up for 2 weeks I rollered the bottom of the floors and toe board with Dynax UB40. I globed it on with a brush before rolling it to get a good spread.   SO much nicer to work with than waxoyl. I used S50 on the underside of the sills and on all seams before going over with the UB40.  Mucho protection.

 Re: My Green/White D*lly F698 UFX
Sam, only just spotted these, as I've been out this morning, sending #1 son on his way to Aberdeen.
So, a couple of points. Did you put chassis tape on top of the rear legs, for the full length that the boot floor rests on them? Could also have done with a wider piece under the front bulkhead/toeboard as well as on the transverse parts of the outriggers.
Also, have you got a closer photograph of the gearbox mount? I cannot make out if it's fitted the right way round...
