    Default Dave McM shop day

    I'm up for one soon, maybe early April? There's heat in the garage, right Lyle?

    Depending on the day I'm happy to come down. I'm fairly certain I can do either of the first two weekends in April.

    Default Thank You

    Thank you Bill, yes, garage has heat, I'll bring the music, beer, brown water, pizza, etc!
    I remember a quote re-quoted by Tom Bache once, I think around the time of the "build a Rover" time that said "Many hands make light work".
    What may be overwhelming and insurmountable to one may be the easiest "I've done that before" task of another.
    We will be around the weekend of April 9-10, 16-17, 23-24.
    Thank you

    Thanks guys!
    I told Dad to clean out around the G4 orange 109 with the Defender hinges full roof rack and spare tire holder that has been occupying the Lift for the past almost 10 years. He spent a day gathering stuff and relocating. Ever have one of those projects that was just that close but unattainable due to ......? I think we've all had one! I haven't told him I have a plan to help finish it yet. His biggest stumbling block is electrics. I call him David "Tesla" McMullan due to his uncanny ability to create sparks and let out factory installed smoke. He already purchased a new fuel rail, all four injectors, tank, hose, filter, everything, including frame! His biggest issue is the two man parts (Bleeding brakes, installing parking break, clutch slave bleeding) and the "damn Dash is torn apart". I think the electrics are the stumbling block.
    If we can get this brightly colored Series off the lift we can all use it for our own projects again as needed, suspension lifts, upgrades, tire/wheel changes, frame changes, etc.
    Someone with an electrical meter, a few hours, a little common sense, an electrical knowledge could probably have this running really good in no time at all.
    My Dad spared no expense, everything is new, it just needs finished.
    Help is appreciated!
    Food and drink of your choice on me!

    Lyle,

    I can't make it down for the Trials due to a family event, but am definitely interested in chipping in on your dad's project. Let me know when you set a date.

    I can definitely help with the electrical effort and love to tinker with diesels. I do have a bench tester for injectors, not sure you need that as it sounds like you have a new set and can help with the injection pump, etc if needed. I also have both a vacuum bleeder and a pressure bleeder (I find to be the better option on my Series) to help with the brakes and the clutch.
