Got to say I thought the bonnet was going to look gash, but coupled with the splitter and arches it all looks pretty damn sweet. Good effort!

cheers carl it will look alot better all one colour which i can now do with the engine removed. after meny arguments with my paint surpplier saying they kept giving me different colour paint it turns out thats theres two colours with the same code so they gave me 5ltr for free and 2ltr primer. iv got a rubber seal kit for the arches and splitter so they will have a black rim.

That's not good. Is the bearing surface on the gear OK? Has the nut on the primary gear stayed done up?

Is there any play in the roller bearing? It doesn't look like the box it's self is damaged. Happy to help you sort it out.

roller was new at time of build. Not quite sure what im going to at the moment as i cnt really afford to sort it out properly with new transfers ect. When i drained the oil it was nice and clean no filings but im sure theres still half the bearing missing so going to split the box and block which i was hoping tn get away with

I can dig you an input gear out, but you'll need to find another 4th gear and a transfer case and bearing.
