	Got the dash and interior in today: Also fitted the fog lights: Swapped out a broken rear light (the broken bit underneath is part of the lamp unit): And ran a new ecu vacuum hose. Old brittle plastic one went straight across so i ran one round behind header tank:

	Dug the Tractor out from Storage and went for a little road run in the sun: Separated the Range Rover Classic body from its galv chassis as decided I'm going to take a different route with this now: And bought a new toy..... Another Cummins engine, Tilt and Slide, SpecLift, Full Service History and been very well looked after. Needs a repaint tho....

	Got the wheels ceramic coated and on. I'm on the fence. I don't know if i like them compared to the BRMs that id put on temporarily. By the time ive had them refurbed, coated and new tyres they owe me £500 so ill have to get used to them:

	Well we started making progress on the BRM, until an eBay bid threw a spanner in the works! A 50k example bought with Head Gasket failure. Ive got it home, got it running and been driving it for a couple of days with no sign of any HGF yet! So looks like this is staying the project one stripped and scrapped! Also trial fitted the RRC body onto a TD5 chassis, as thats the direction I'm going to take it now instead of V8: Also bought a Z3: And a Clio: And a Vintage trailer for the tractor: And another Discovery for another project i have planned!
