No cracks - it's broken in pieces. Got a little too close to the rear of a 'vette!

Some good epoxy and a few coats of the spray on bed liner and it's holding.

Replaced my camshaft position sensor today. Old one got doused/hosed/drowned in oil during my last oil change misadventure. Guess I could have cleaned it off, but figured I would just replace it. Pretty easy, just an 11mm and 8mm bolt...can't imagine doing it with bigger hands, there's not a lot of room down there behind the pulley.

Also new oil and a Wix filter. I'm hoping that by the next oil change I'll be able to do it without soaking the floor.

I finally fixed the lights after the "Lake Incident" thanks to LRChick and Robert!
That looks like Santa Claus would drive it, hell yeah!

Ordered my Ashcroft air locker for the rear diff. Stronger and less prone to leakage than the ARB.

Admired her sitting in the yard where she has been for the last week and a half. I will break her out Friday to deliver my 265/75 Treadwright wardens to their new owner.

When out to the workshop to " have a look" why I couldn't engage diff lock. Ended up fixing it!!! so two hours later, centre console removed and all the other bit in the middle, rivets drilled out and diff lever completely removed, on the bench, freed up the rusty bits, greased up, pull it all back together and it all works including the dash light for diff lock. Whole job took about an hour and a half.

Cleaned up camshaft position sensor and reinstalled, cleared up the hesitation and power loss I was having last week.

Nope. Going Porsche. Well, if a front engine Porsche can actually be considered a Porsche that is. I am looking at a 86 944

Did a few things, so far. Had the stock radiator re-cored (the rad was 60% clogged with a few holes in the tubes) and now re-installed. Put on a new water pump, thermostat, upper radiator hose, and belt tensioner. I'll get my Disco back after the tranny service.
