I did start by making a list. Of course, this list became longer as the work progressed. As I took parts off, and the original vehicle started to disappear, more faults were discovered, and more improvements implemented. But the original list was as follows:
- A new rear crossmember
- Repair several patches of rust on the chassis
- New shock absorbers
- Engine service
- New exhaust
- Front swivel seals leaking
- and of course the repainting! Quasi-military striping is so not me!
So, first things first. I decided to start at the top and work my way down.
