On the Ground at Last

After just about a year of work, for a couple of hours almost every day, today the Land Rover stood on its own four wheels again for the first time. There was sufficient weight on the springs so that, when one corner of the vehicle was jacked up, the springs would compress enough to allow the shock absorber to be attached. Once they were all on, down she came for a landing.

This also enabled me to reposition the Land Rover to make working on the left side a little easier.

Once that was done, on went the iconic headlights and a few more items, including the 'bean can'.
