I bought what I thought would be a quick fixer upper, it then turned into a total strip down and having neatly stacked piles of metal in my garage.

I have pretty much finished welding the chassis, replacing door pillars and foot wells. Just need to paint chassis and bulkhead, drop the engine back in, replace bearings and brake lines, paint and refit body and get a ticket on it. "hoping" to have it done by Christmas. :D

I am looking to come along to the next pub meet as I am starting to feel like owning a land rover rather than owning piles of scrap. I would also be interested in tagging along as passenger on a laning session in a few weeks if that was possible?

Hi Stu,

The 80 well I recieved some hose this morning and some more ends for the oil pipes so I will plumb them up probably Saturday or maybe tomorrow evening need to get it nice and neat.

I ended up with a weihrauch 35 .22 but it needs zeroing seriously as its well out at the moment.

Was hoping for Nov but more Likley around Xmas time if akk goes well.

As for shooting in new to playing with air rifles so any experience welcomed! I need to get my backside uo broomhills or whatever its called now to zero the scope before I do much else tho
 
the event on the 28th at roundhill woods, is this a club event or a pay and play? I've only ever been in there with the Anglian rover owners for trials or winch challenges

if its open to anyone this month it would be ideal for me to test the truck as it should be finished next weekend

cheers chris
 
Hi Chris,

fun day with a drive around which happens to have punches set out

Everyone welcome but you need to join Burnham offroaders.

How's Anglian doing these days?? I'm with the other Anglian lot.
