This last weekend I got the cover off the truck and washed it, I also drained the nasty five year old gas out of the tank and got a free mouthfull in the process (I can confirm that five year old gas with a dash of Castrol Valvemaster lead substitute tastes pretty nasty) I then replaced the rubber line and filter between the tank and electric fuel pump on the frame rail as it was very perished, the rest was done a couple of years ago. The three wheels that keep going down went off to the tyre place yesterday to be taken off the rims, cleaned up and remounted with new valves and balanced again I'll pick them up this afternoon and get them back on as currently she's sat on three old Isuzu trooper steel wheels with an assortment of junk tyres on them. The new mini starter is on order and then I need to sort out a battery, I've also pretty much decided to put in an order for a full inline tube stainless brake line set.
