Dopey will be glad about the pegs

Trap carpets always come away at the end where it’s tight slotting down. My seat sliders are same will look tidy in your ‘new to you’ interior, is looking good bud. Luckily I have the plastic boot liner keeps it tidy but is a pain to slide about in order to put rear seats up.

Thanks DT.

it is nice to have it coming together..

Very comfy car to drive, especially the seating position for my lengthy frame.

The plastic liner i'll prolly fit for convenience

Debating whether to paint the chassis with black paint while I wait..

RangeRoller dt · Aug 17, 2019

It can be any colour you want, doesn’t have to be black. I’d wait til it gets a good rust treatment first so it's done for good

Better to do a little bit permanently than a large area ‘for now’

I sent this BeCM off the Martin/MartyUK and he rebuilt it!

Sent it back to me in double quick time!

I fitted it, turned the key and she fired immediately as if she had only been sat since yesterday!

No knocking no misfires it just roars!

Goes well!

And the Tailgate opens etc so the Short was the Amp!

Ahh Gents/Ladies i'm so ecstatic it's unreal!

Anyway here she is!

The EAS also raised immediately too!! and stays level!

The only issue the the Passenger door won't unlock! eh who cares i'm just enjoying her!!

Ahh thanks @martyuk

Here she is!

Hasn't moved since 2018!

I'll assemble her in due course!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeee

lol

" copy paste"

Proof of the old 4.6 running..

Relatively quiet which makes a change!

Henry_b · Aug 24, 2019

Touched her up as per usual

She also had some fun with the sheeps, little bastids.

Great Result! I'm pleased for ya

..... so I bet you'll be smiling like the proverbial cheshire cat

The undercarriage of this old girl ain't too bad.

But the Air tank was starting to rust, and that is one thing you don't want a hole in!!!

Bilt hamber and the worlds worst paint brush was used.

Before

Then a good few coats of the good stuff.

And done!

Not too pretty but it'll work, I tend not to overpaint this stuff on easy to access stuff as it's easy to touch up and you can't see runt under paint!

Good Stuff !! It's blinking brilliant that the knowledge exists to fix ECU's and that people actually do it too !!

That FFRR we had, granted a few years ago, could probably be fixed now

.... at the time it was a different story, ho hum, live and learn

Henry_b · Aug 24, 2019

Also while I was in the painting mood I touched up the front Axle..

The brake shields are about ready to fall off so i'll have to remove them at some point..

Before

As you can see my V8 doesn't leak, that explains the rust i guess

And painted

Looks a tad fresher.

The paint I used was a generic Chassis paint that smelled suspiciously like Hammerite!

I fancy an L322 but can't bring myself to have one..

Too techy for me

And.................

The Steering box

After

dieseldog69 · Aug 24, 2019

Now you got a D2 for daily tugging about in you ought to look at taking the body off and getting the chassis shot blasted and galvanised

Ha I wish!

A bit rich for me at the moment

Henry_b · Aug 25, 2019

The Interior is getting there!

A new draft plastic and the door card replaced.

The REAL WALNUT

centre console has been polished and waxed.

Just for some extra shine points.

Also added a new air freshener!

And the "almost complete" interuior.

The steering wheel is next for restoration!
I've ordered some leather paint to do the project, hopefully it'll turn out ok lol

Henry_b · Aug 25, 2019

The side trims and chrome were also polished, with Autoglym super resin and Autoglym Trim care.

The Bumper and Grill was done too

Onto the next job!
