Front Diff Seal

After 30 min of frustration to get the old seal out we got a nice clean surface!
With some seal grease we got the seal to fit.
Finally the differential is finished to assemble for the 2nd time! (first time we tought 30 year old seals are oil tight... :-) )

Ow and dad fixed the grease gun! Thanks!

New tub!

Dad helping me out on the small roadtrip

Bonnet safe in the van

Got home! :-)

It's far from perfect but see it as a challenge!

Tub with bonnet we also bought

Some fixes have been done... Not sure if they were done right... 
Now back to the chassis so we can test fit this little tub! :-)
