Hello all,

Well on a whim I decided to go out and buy another Landrover, as you do lol.

Well this is what I came back with (yes its a real one) but boy it needs a few bits doing.

Anyway Landrover ownership is all about working on the cars as well, good job with this one.

Have a look at the pics, as I might need some advise on which way to go.

This is one of the Tin worm in the boot, had a field day in there it has

Help !!!!!!!!!!! lol

I understand I will need a new boot floor minimum, but it has rust in the rain channel and other areas.

Chassis is super fine, as is the rest of the body.

Is there a way of getting all of the rot out of the shell, I understand there is no simple answer to this question, but as I have never restored a motor before I am looking for advise.

Thanks

Quick update on the Camel.

Well if I'm being honest I have very nearly given up twice, it's done my head right in.

Every time I think all the rust has gone, I find more.

Triggers Broom springs to mind.

I have even advertised it as spares or repairs.

But it looks like I'm stuck with the old girl, so I better press on.

Next job, rub all the body down.

When I get chance, I will put up some more pics.

I recently walked away from a genuine camel from the 1992 trophy that was campaigned by the Belgian team.

Bargain price but even though it was genuine and had some stuff still on it, the best I could come up with that it was a 1992 Disco 200Tdi that had already been rallied and had done little else since it came back.

I hope you do carry on with it, a lot of the goodies are very hard to find now though!!!

If you want to compare pics of rot I can probably beat you

Stick with it mate! You'll be proud of what you've achieved after. Already done the boot floor on mine and i'm just tackling the sills now. Its a ball ache but crack on and you will wonder why you ever thought about giving up.
