So the master list of things to tackle at this point appears to be;
I hope y'all are ready for lots of threads spawning when I am in way over my head trying to resolve these
- Switch the battery cable routing into the tub to fit the UK post orientation. Though after taking my dust-shield off the underside I see that the cables go up over the trailing arms so not sure how I'll get this one done...
- Locate the apparent coolant leak causing rust on the crossbrace
- Replace my rubber coolant hoses with silicone ones. Might need to refurb some parts related to this due to apparent rust.
- Refurbish my drive axles, as they both are suffering from spots of rust
- Replace the lip seals for both drive axles, as both appear to be the source of my leaks around the gearbox
- Cross-gate cable sheathing is frayed. Looks like it's rubbing against the frame as it exits the centre portion just before reaching the transmission
- I'm also leaking oil at the shift mechanism bellows, it appears.
I hope y'all are ready for lots of threads spawning when I am in way over my head trying to resolve these
