Yes its been all over europe for a few years now, the cam pulley bolt came out and the belt slipped a few weeks ago. Put it all back together with replacement rockers and push rods, it seemed ok but dropped a valve a week or so later I think it must have bashed a valve and cracked it when the belt slipped

[madmark]

a grate shame as i always think the older di engine were the best , 1988-91

Old Jimbo has been off the road over the winter awaiting a new gearbox and some welding. All done now and sporting a new MOT I thought I had better get on with the spec lift fitting.

Coming off Muttley....



Going on to Jim.....



I welded two 4" I beams to extend the body subframe up to the front of the truck







Finished, with MK1 rear lamps and bored dog







Here he is earning his keep

[Muttley]

I have been sprucing him up with a bit of "bling"



New rear floor...



"Big Rig" Mirrors







At last no more lop sided mirrors

not a mk2 if it aint got wonky/wobbly mirrors

[Muttley]

Finished the other side and painted the frames. Its really weird to have the mirror so close to your face but rear view is greatly improved

[Muttley]

Flushed with the mirror success I made an address lamp from an old spotlamp





Also repainted his wheels...





Hubs painted white too....
