What have you done to your Landie today.

Just a little more stabbing revealed the extent of the hole in mine, not to bothered as the surrounding material is thick enough for a patch to be welded on!

Fitted my one pound ten pence mirror from ebay, it's to help when towing the car trailer as it's seventeen feet odd long

Had a really good day

Managed to remove the middle seat (helps if you have the right tools and know what they are for

)

Wire brushed and painted the cross member and towbar with black hamerite.

Cut a bit of spare carpet for the back, only temporary as I know it will get damp.

Didn't get round to finishing the radio though

Back to work tomorrow

Yes, thank you

Now got to try to get the black stains off my hands

Not sure if its oil or hamerite but white spirit and kitchen cleaner have failed to shift it all so far.

mix some butter and sugar together and use that as a hand cleaner.it works.

Good evening on the landy after work..... the waxoyl has set enough to start assembling the front suspension..... what a cow of a job single handed though......

3" HD springs , 3" billet alloy machined lifting blocks, QT 6 degree castor corrected arms, DeCarbon performance shocks +2", -2" turrets and yellow Polybushes to match (sad I know lol)

chassis has been drilled on top every 8-10" so i could waxoyl the inside to death and all holes sealed with 10mm dinitrol plugs afterwards so should be easy to access n redo in future.......

just need to decide on an engine type so i can fit some mounts????

worst part is i have to disassemble the rear end again now ive decided to waxoyl in n out.... originally intended to leave it after hammeriting.... bugger...

slowly but surely getting there....

cheers steve

Seeing as one mate had an attempted theft and one had 2 nicked in the last week or so, decided it was time to beef up security.
now has a few more bits to switch on before it will go anywhere, including a couple of key switches I had laying around, and a great feck orf pedal lock thats just arrived.

now considering a beefy wheel clamp, and just pricing up a drop down bollard for the drive, and what that will entail to install it.

No, I can live with that.

Still got to get bushes and steering damper done but it can wait for a bit

I hope to put a bollard on my drive at some point... just make sure its strong enough to stop a landy!
