Lent on the corner of my rear bumper and heard a nice snapping sound!!
The rear bumper has sagged!!
Just found the rear mount that comes off of the chassis had snapped in half!!
Oh while i was under there this also needs some attention.
Need to get myself a welder sometime in the future lol

Aye chap.
I've read your thread, it's brilliant btw.
The out rigger that the brackets attach to has just crumbled.
She was a sea side car so some tin worm is not too unexpected
The old girl will be getting a full strip down and rebuild in the coming years.
Maybe even a full respray in MC blue
But best laid plans and all that.

Thanks mate. Mine is starting to come together now which is nice considering what a dog it was. Hopefully yours will be too. Do love the MC blue as well. Time to get that welder
It's time to wield the 'ammers and welder!

Quite a mundane update..
I've been trawling ebay looking for some genuine Landrover Mats to go in the rear..
Originally she had a normal Mats however they have long since disappeared..
Looking through ebay £15 later and i have these genuine LR RR Rubber mats..
They were in brilliant condition however i spritzed them with some AG vinyl and rubber care to make them shine!
This is the car before...
And after a light clean and the new mats..
Just need a set for the front now lol..

The car came with no service History luckly i managed to get hold of the 2nd owner, it turned out he had all the service history and the factory pouch with manuals etc etc..
The service portfolio isn't bursting however it has a few stamps!!
This is off of the supplying dealer i'm assuming..
============================================
It's had quite a few replacement parts!!
The history is divided between these plastic Pouches..
It has had no less than 4 Cruise control ECU's!!

She originally had Lightstone mats however they have long since been MIA..
2nd hand they were £45!
So naturally i bought the cheaper rubber ones
IMO they still look Ok'ish..

Just done some simple pre-restoration cleaning/painting..
The intake manifold has always been a bug bare of mine..
I've tried to tidy it up in the past..
Before.
In this quick blow over i had forgotten most of the intake manifold and the throttle body lol
After..
In this painting session i managed to do the "bananas"
Hopefully i'll rip this engine apart to do a complete recon of all parts..
Unfortunately this is as good as it gets while it's all together!

That's cheap. Think I would put black in mine as I've never seen tan ones

I have often been described as being "being odd in a nice way"
With that in mind i love the small details
The chrome kick plates have faded and the plastic surrounding them has deteriorated..
Before
After..
The chrome kick plates were run over with some chrome polish and a buffing wheel on a bench grinder. #
Plastic afters..
wiped down with Demon clean and some Vinyl rubber care to give a slight shine..
And complete!
