Haha can't be doing bad for himself

Although went to a farm in Cumbria and he had 5 range rovers

Two brothers, two L322's. Got 1000 acres arable, 8 houses and 25industrial units, they are doing ok for themselves, but they pay me well and let me borrow things like the Shogun to fetch Rangys, and the barn to do my rebuild, not to mention all the tools, forklift and electricity to boil the kettle

Bonus everyone loves free stuff

Got the donor this morning. Might be life in her yet. Parked up in 2006.













Genuine mileage may I add, electric seats may need work but might be coaxed back into life and put in the project car.

dont seem too bad stu, seen worse

Like all landys, looks good till you open the doors, might weigh in what fell onto the trailer
Still going to break it.

electy seat modules £100+ all dayn long...etc.

Bit of a update.

Picked up my welder yesterday so hopefully get the welding underway again. Got the donor car back and ready to be tinkered with, if the engine runs ok then I have, off a friend, a re mapped ECU and a upgraded Jag flapper AFM to mate it with, economy setup, and lowers the fuel imput in the 9th injector....

But thats all a long way off, lot's of grinding and welding to get done before the engine will be worried about.

another one saved from the grave stu, hopes yer gorra load of welding wire on order !

froz in stoke today doin that door, stripped head on ted20 on way home and sprayed grey , pickin bits up thurs i think

Found an excuse to play with the new welder at work

Works fine so the other one is for sale..



Bigger than the old one and more switches, got to be better, right Works fine, just need a book to know how to switch between gas and gasless properly.

Shame my bro wouldn't let me swap, don't know why, sure he wouldn't notice



Right, strip a caliper off for Zen then get the mig setup, Thursday night project me thinks.

Not done much last couple of weeks, life gets in the way every now and again. The welder is good, not blowing holes through the steel anymore

Just bought a newish headliner off flebay, got carried away but think its a good buy. Out of a 84 with sunroof so hopefully will go straight in.....

Right, all out this weekend, after sorting the electrics out on the oss trailer, giving the wife a reversing lesson with her new 4x4, after a disco but ended up getting a Nissan Tarrano for £600 was the best about, got to take the oss out one day and think I will be driving, that leaves 2 days of welding then

I'm on Trailer refurb this weekend. Need to pull all the brakes down and adjust and replace any bits that need doing. might even paint the wheels!

Good luck with that, trailers are fairly easy to work on as long as you can figure out what the part number and make everything is. Always looks good painted up and shiny, got the neddy trailer to paint one day.

Rate, after fixing the wiring on the wifes Tarrano, shifted 2 caravans with it, my good deeds were done for the weekend.

Decided to look at the donor to see what I want off it. Found a good way of moving it around the yard.



Gave it a wash, inside and out with the steam cleaner. Got some bits off as well so starting a thread for parts, will post link when created.

to get the engine out of the scrapper i had ,i found chain on engine..manitol fork lift,fully extended..ie 8m or so and shake ...car soon lets go of engine!lol

Ye, was thinking of less brutal methods. Need to see if it runs but might just turn it to make sure it ain't seized. Then fook about with it after.
