Default another days work.....

So I was up at sparrows fart and got cracking, put the air scoop in, oil cooler then radiator, took them out for a moment to do some adjustments.... then they went back in again. Fitted the oil cooler lines and fuel tank then the seats and fuel lines. Had a cuppa and back into it fitted the radiator over flow valve and pipe work. Then for the engine and gearbox, it went on without a hitch (better than the airscoop) bolted up the drive coupling and set to sorting out the throttle linkage as the old one had been butchered to get the diesel enging going, called it quits as the kids had caught an eel and wanted it gutted ready for smoking tomorrow.
Plans for tomottow are to make up a clutch control rod, connect fuel to the engine and crank it up, tension the track and poss give it a quick test drive....

Might I add in the bottom left of the 3rd photo is the tripod bottom mount, it is very difficult to fit no matter which way I lay crouched or held my mouth.
2nd photo is the dash paned after welding boging and painting, I think it came up better than I imagined.
