Spot the Land Rover Parts : )

Just a couple of views of the heated storage area, which shows many of the parts and assemblies that are ready to go back on the vehicle or have been primed (grey) ready for their Pastel Green paint later in the restoration. The more you look, the more parts you'll see.... 10 points if you can spot the tires. : )

Back in the garage, the rear axle has been disassembled to the point that just the U-clamps holding the axle to the springs  need to be undone, and then the axle can come away and have the differential taken off and looked at. Hubs have both been disassembled and throughly cleaned. Everything is in excellent shape.

Out of sight here is the front axle case, which is painted and ready to go, and the front diff, which is in the garage. The entire front axle is ready for reassembly, just waiting for some shims to finish off the differential, and I'd like to do a leak-preventative overhaul of the brake cylinders before they are installed.

Among other things in this view are the steering relay and arms, plus the rebuilt hand brake lever mechanism.
