Sorry its a bit late but I got the diff fitted and gave the axle another lick of paint aswell  :smile1

This will be it for now till Christmas is over then it will start all over again, my monthly budget should be better then aswell so even more money to spend on the 2a to get it closer to being finished  :smile1

So all the best everyone hope you have a great Christmas and a happy new year see you soon  :smile1

Sorry not been on for a while, the rear diff is now fitted and once the festive season has finished I will be starting the new year off with buying a Steve Parker 300tdi-series exhaust system as I am fitting a 300tdi exhaust manifold to give me more room for fitting the intercooler pipes, can't wait now  :smile1

Good progress you're making. :thumbs:
I'm ashamed to say I've not done anything for ages.
I'll maybe have a potter later on... :-?

Yeah I've not done much over the past couple of months with saving for Christmas and son's wedding later this year but as soon as he's married the progress on the 2a should fly  :smile1

Painted and fitted the exhaust and inlet manifolds and rocker cover yesterday then today I fitted the new S.P. exhaust system, looks great, solid and doesn't touch anything well chuffed  :smile1
