Sorry to hear that Johnny. Hope she recovers well and soon.

she will shes tough as old boots me mum its the car im more bothered about she needs it for work since they tore the hospital down she was based at they moved her to another 12 miles away from home bloody nhs cutbacks :mad::mad::mad:
 
i could lend her the landy and me trade plates while i fix hers

that way the missus dont see the landy for a little bit longer
 
Hope your mums ok mate, mine had a spill a couple of years ago it turns your stomoke for a moment or two.

Good news that Land, few fuses bit of filler and a grill and your all done :D
 
Nice one on the landy JC, good little project there. Sorry bout yer ma, she sounds a tough one but make sure she gets herself checked out. Careful about the misuse of trade plates though.

lookin at the vid i need an indicator stalk and ignition barrel with the key and a full rewire due to one of the fuses being what appears to be a length of 35 amp household fuse wire

a wiring diagram would be helpfull too :D:D:D:D:D
 
Nice one, tell the missus bugger all, works for me..:D She'll be too busy changing nappies to give a monkeys..
 
I nearly got away with buying my first landy and not telling the (then) mrs...

Said my mate gave me some money to drop off at someones house as a deposit for a landy.... "whats he buying that piece of **** for" she says :D

Nipped out one night to "help him move it" to work, and nearly got away with it, bloody woman decided to open the "important looking brown envelope" addressed to me 3 weeks later and found the logbook :doh::doh::doh:
 
thing is this is in a similar state to how me last landy was same colour too only real difference is the side windows in the back ( me old one was a van back ) and the derv engine the old one was a 2.25 petrol wich i fully rebuilt kinda like 90truckcab has done on his series 2a but without the fancy paint just red oxide primer

the missus back then didnt have any respect for the landy and behind my back sold it to some farmer while i was working down london
when i came back i found £500 cash a clapped out k reg fiesta and no fekkin landy after id got it near mint condition
she lasted roughly 4 min 35 seconds till i booted her out the house with a good pair of black eyes and a decent case of whiplash

im not proud of it but at 19 yrs old just lost me favourite thing since passing me test and all me hard slog heart n soul gone into it and a sodding fiesta as consolation i couldnt controll myself

i ended up with her 2 brothers on me doorstep a week later and i give them a fookin good hideing aswell and told them what shed done and what do yer know they were landy lads from oldham who saw my point and after a 2 way appology on both accounts we leaft it at that

so finally heres me starting again but this time its a veg oil special :D:D:D:D
 
ive gone and done it this time ive only finally got meself a series landy all ive got to do is go and get the fekker

im shaking coz i havent even told the missus yet its a wreck and i dont want her going into labour 3 months early god help me

anyway herews a vid of the old girl

gonna need to do some lectrics and a fook of a lot of welding me thinks

landrover for ebay_0001.wmv - YouTube


yey!! ,glad you finally got one :D
you will have it on the road in a few months ;)

i wonder what colour your gonna paint it?? :D;)
 
now ive told her and she hit the fekkin roof me idea was just tell her and face the music see what happens

it turns out that shes not that bothered about getting the landy its more about the fact that id already won the fekker and im days away from collecting her before i told the missus

so far in her rage today shes had me scrub the kitchen floor clean out under the stairs 3 loads of washing tidy the back yard and just for good measure ive just done a massive sunday roast for tea ( hope i get back into the good books soon )

on the other matter me mum is ok but her tinitus has come back and the car is in one of me mates garages local to her house and hes gonna put it right for her on the cheap with a bit of a fiddle on the invoice

and after the written off saxo i put back together ( jcb had gone down the side and removed front wing bent the drivers sill and peeled the door skin clean off ) its passed a safety inspection with no remarks and passed its mot with no advisorys im starting to get a few customers to me door
 
Nice one JC, sounds like it's all gonna turn out good in the end, glad that your mum's ok and you're getting some work in and I'm sure the missus will come round soon.

Looking forward to the resto thread.

That sounds like my wife: "it's not bad that you've done something, it's bad you didnt tell me"
 
cant wait till the back end of this week either thurs or fri ( thats when me mates got some free time to tow the fekker for me ) gotta be cleffer bout towing nowadays even though ive been towing heavy since i was 16 the last 14 years me liscense used to say i had 7.5 tonne on but since i got it back for minor points last time it doesent and since im going through the length of wales to get it id rather play it safe with those police interceptors ( fookin rife with the fekkers wales is )
