    Erratic Temperature Gauge

    Hmmmm. Tapping the side of the clocks is a bit of a giveaway. If the rest of the clocks work fine, you might get away with swapping just the gauge if the prefacelift ones are the same module. I'd be tempted to get the clocks in bits and inspect the gauge connections and the tracks from...

    A bit more progress........ Ground down my shabby welding.......... Got some Kurust on the metal to make sure it doesn't rust, and when the other half is finished I will throw some primer on it and see what it looks like. Probably terrible. :) Chris.

    Head Gasket blown/'leaking'

    Hi all, Couple more pics of "the yellow beastie".... And this is the cage (show cage) I'm using, mainly just to replace the rigidity from hacking the roof off. I'm currently welding (badly) the roof end, after that the bulkhead wall is going in and the cage will get fitted. The end...
