The roof goes off

Well this job wasn't too difficult . . There were six main fixings to un-bolt , three on each side of the roof. They weren't too hard to remove with the odd bit of WD40 close at hand. The hardest part of the whole removal was getting all the bolts from above the windscreen off. This was by far,the hardest task so far, but was very rewarding when I finished as the roof came right off!! I had the boss close by and between the two of us, we managed to get the whole thing off and in to the back of the trailer along with all the other parts i've removed so far. . .

When we had started this project, we were told two things . .1) the axles were siezed and we'd probably need something to lift it on the trailer and 2) the engine was coming to the end of its time and oil was coming up from the cap

Ofcourse when we dragged the landy out of the field by its tow-bar, the axle problem was soon forgotten. . but the engine was still on our minds, even up to this moment. It'd either be the life or death of the project. Since we'd got the jeep down to this state, we decided to get an engineer over to have a look, Mc Nallys Paddy! ive been told that he has everything you could possibly need for any kind of job, in the back of his jeep! Anyhow before we got Paddy over, we decided to start her up and get the engine warm so itd start on the button for when he was there. As the boss started the engine, the usual horrible ship-wrecked sound came out of her but we noticed that diesel was pumping out all over the engine from a loose pipe from the diesel pump. We turned the engine off, tightened the pipe, restarted her, and boom!!! It sounded like a brand new engine!! What a success!!!! No oil was coming from the engine, it was the diesel the whole time,and when Paddy came over and seconded us by saying the engine was perfect, that just made our week!!

To finish off the great work that was done, we had to put all the extra parts we'd taken off away, which, thanks to a very good friend of ours, was made possible!
