hi
what are your next steps to work on? Is there much work on the chassis and the bulkhead?
good luck with your project , hope seeing some more photos soon
Thanks mate and no not much really compared to what there was
Well today;
I cut out a whole load of rust from the rear crossmember chassis area where they join
Removed the fuel tank for welding tomorrow
Cut out new plates from 3mm to fit
Took a wire brush on an angle grinder to the chassis in order to clean it up ready for painting and fitted both outriggers back on
So left to do this week is bulkhead and footwell repairs (all **** easy as we've got new pieces that just slot on and fit right, a couple more patches on the chassis, all small or easy ones now all the awkward ones are done basically.
Paint chassis and rear prop shaft then coat in wax oil and old sump oil both inside and out too if i get time
After all thats done its just the process of refitting the bodywork and tidying it up with new paint, wheel paint, new custom exhaust needs fitting, new wipers, sidesteps, roof lights, roll bar and bullbar
Most importantly fixing the cooling problem or getting the landy mechanic over to have a look at it seeing as he should be able to diagnose it on the spot if my thermostat change doesn't work
Oh and mounting the winch on the rear bumper, once all the above is done I'll be taking the old bastard down to landrover spares to get some new wiring, timing chain, electrics check (alternator etc) tune the carbs and then to the MOT centre to get
My goal is to have it all done by the end of next week and ready for pre MOT checks and servicing the following monday then straight to the MOT centre after
(probs missed off a few bits but theres an extensive list I'm powering through at a good speed)
Anyway I'll put up a couple more pics tonight and some more tomorrow hopefully if we get the body all done
