Because I'm working on it outdoors and it's dark when I get home from work, there has not been much time to do anything over the winter.
Where it's at, at this moment is it's driving around with new axles. The brakes need bleeding and a few other trivial things but essentially it's ready to test at Slindon.
The actuator on the front locker is broken (there is a big fracture in one of the castings) so I need to mill another one - I might be able to do that today as that will be indoors and it's minus several degrees outside!

Most people who build cars do so in the winter so they can enjoy them in the summer but I think us off roaders should build in the summer to enjoy in the winter!
Obviously we don't plan it out but I suppose we should. It just happens according to when the ideas arrive!

Threre was -19 F yesterday in Moscow. Hardly anyone can do something with the car at such a cold.
