What's the tank?

That's no tank it's a space station! - Sorry couldn't help that one.

It's a sub woofer.

Yep, wasn't expecting to see one in a base model diesel

Usually associated with a CD multi changer, it lives in the space under the subwoofer. Mine has all that kit in... optional extra I would say..... they sound pretty good for a factory setup.

Sounds good, didn't see a multi changer or where one was. Hopefully it works and still works when I fit a new head unit

Is there a single cable somewhere that has a connector with a multi pin connector. The original kit in mine is made by Clarion, the head unit connects to the CD changer by what they call a 'C Bus' connection.
There may have been lower specs that didn't have one ??

Yeah mine is Clarion, it still has its original head unit atm so might work

looks like another full blown restoration

Nah ill have most of this done next weekend. Got some patching to do on a friends Disco, might get both welders running and let my mate loose learning on the easy stuff

Should have a lead like this

Right, today I finally started work on the Rangy [emoji41]

Went to move it into the barn and nothing, found that when my lad was sitting in it last weekend he turned the lights on, bugger. So I stuck the charger on and went to get some bits from the motor factors. Got back and she struck straight up [emoji2] so drove round to the barn then set the ramps up and went to drive up, but no. The front prop is missing so trying to get up metal ramps in one wheel drive and bald tyres, not going to happen. Gave up with that and pushed it up with the forklift [emoji23]

Half way through cutting out the ns sill my grinder spat out it's cooling fan in small pieces through the vent holes [emoji35] couldn't find another in either workshop's so trapsed to Wickes and bought a new Bosh one. So far the best one I have owned has been a Silverline one that I paid £6 for in a closing down sale new.

Right picky time

Dam Technology [emoji36]











Will get more done tomorrow, I would have carried on tonight but I need a new sleeve in my welder and my mates the cable feed was playing up so stopped for the night. I need it MOT'd in two weeks [emoji33]

Managed to get one welder going today [emoji41]. But after supporting the girlfriend who was competing in a Hunter Trial this morning I was left with the afternoon. One sill is near completion, couple of hours and it will be done

At least your rear inner wings are ok..... mine were shot ! Sills looked very much like yours. I see you still have the post bottoms ! Good stuff.... you'll soon be enjoying the benefits of Range Rover ownership...... there are some honest

Hope so Rusty, I was hoping to have it on the road by the 11th, not looking good.

Right, tonights antics are as follows



I needed to hold the plate in place somehow



All was going well until this happened



So I put the 0.6mm real out of the Wolf mig in



But the big brute kept kinking the wire so I had to fit the new sheath into the wolf and carry on with that



Bit of a size difference

So thats the NS all welded up



So as it was only 9pm I decided to investigate the other side and errrrrrrr













Hmmm guess what I'm doing tomorrow

Oh

Quick update from last night. I started repairing the inner sill on the os. I'll let the pictures explain

Looking better

Cheers.

I'm hoping to finish this sill tonight then it's evicted out of the barn for two weeks [emoji22]

The bosses have given me a pass to leave the rangy where it is [emoji41] so unfortunately I'm tidying up tools and leaving be as I'm away next week so no more work till after the 12th
