Well where's the bloody pictures then?

If you need any bits, let me know. I seem to have accumulated a few, especially engine parts, most of which I no longer need as I changed Engine.

Cheers Spyderman .. Will send you a pic on ya phone lol havent got round to seeing whats what yet , It has freewheeling front hubs that i dont know how use lol and of course two ubfamiliar knobs that i also will need to get use to lol .. But i will begin a work list .. strange thing is it has 15 inch wheels on instead of 16s ,, i was hoping i could put my ATs on to her which are 235 70 16 , as all the tyres on at the moment are suspect ,, It started first time after being sat for a few months and has last years MOT , so will put it through one to see what it fails on ...

Back to work .. have been working almost 20 hour day and now i need to get up to kent ,,

TC all

15" wheels were a common fitment for US export models, that's if they're standard fit. I've probably got some 16" rims you could have, though you'll need tubes with the tyres.
Believe me driving a Series is a whole new experience.

Doh! put it in, Ask dot com!

DBs good... think he's off away this weekend but should be around on Monday. Dan... no idea... he's working like the devils on his ass so I don't s'pose he's got much time for us at the moment!

Won't make the trial tomorrow or Whaddon I have wiring to sort out and fit some rear bench seats. Doh!!

All I'm going to do tomorrow is put the 900s back on and do Lilley lane to walk the dog.

Sod that! Build a ramp and drive over it!:bounce:

OK Working on the principle that "exploitation begins at home" (Ferengi Rule of Acquisition no. 34) I decided to get Kai to change the Radiator in the shogun. He started off well:

He showed me the size of the space he had to work in:


but insisted that he could get the steering guard off despite its recent encounter with a small deer

Eventually he conceded that the tool was too small and discovered Land Rover Rule no 2: If it don't work get a bigger tool


Finally just about ready to lift out the old one... just needs a little leverage!



Apparently the replacement rad had a few nozzles the old one lacked... so the answer... fit a pipe to bridge the gap... another stage done without Dad. I'm starting to feel a bit redundant!

Stick the new one in and the jobs a good 'un.

I know posting these on here is really self indulgent... but he really iscoming along fast and its due in part to the practical and patient explanations that every one on here is willing to provide him with. Its never easy getting a 9 year old to understand what's going on so practical experience it is!

Well done that lad!
That takes me back to when i was his age but it was motor bikes.
If he needs to know anything that I know I would be honored to pass it on.
