well i had a good afternoon on the landy today, and got a lot of satisfaction aswell
wired brushed all the cappings, painted the doors and they are on, got a seat in and the cubby box to fill up the hole,
and shes had a her first drive! not a very long one i admit, but it was dark by the time i finished setting up the suspension on the ramp
so shes getting there i think

going to keep it generally original, the only kind of visible modifications being things like roof light bar, snorkel and rock sliders, because theres nothing wrong with the classic shape

been working on the suspension again tonight, no pics im afraid as not much progress,
now another problem has come up and was wondering if anyone has any ideas for me,
some of you may have noticed that i have put military shackles on the landy, now everything lines up and fits, it sits just as i want it to, but im struggling with the shocks, mainly the front ones, i had already bought standard ones, and there is no chance they are going to go on, ive looked at some options like pro comps etc,
but has anybody ever used something else, obviously i cant weld things to the chassis, i just need extended shocks, that arent at a stupid price because of my budget,
any ideas guys?

if i were you, id fit some sort of decent ani theft. im fed up of the criminal activity ive experienced in the last month! no vehicle here seems safe and we have taken to going round at obscene hours with a big bar! we shouldnt have to worry though its a discrace
There are good bits.. Just not many and are getting fewer and fewer

mine was 1200 first year i had a TDI. went up to £2000 come renewal for no reason.
ive since claimed for £1000ish worth of damage which isnt a lot but im not looking forward to renewal this year.

haha doubt it, your flying through yours!!
i havnt had any good ones im afraid, i had a thought of painting the original grill white and putting some of this behind it
ALUMINIUM GRILL VENTS MESH SILVER UNIVERSAL 100x33cm | eBay
one problem being that they dont sell a big enough sheet for the whole grille in one, but not sure if its mean enough, and a bit to blingy
and yup, hoping to sort out shocks this afternoon, came up with an idea with shocks ive found in the back of the workshop
so might get her out in the field
ive also galv primed the cappings, will get some pics later on

just nailed the back half chassis last nitgh bout 11 pm ( couldnt sleep) gonna try and get some blue non drip gloss for the underside of the rear tub as i can lather that stuff on thick enough to never need it doing again me idea is to get the underside done and do the outside of the thing while its on but me next stage is get the fibreglass derv tank out and rebuild its hangers and outriggers the chassis is absolutely shot through on that side
i had another idea with the front grille
cut the mesh flimsy shyte out of the centres leaveing the frame paint that black then back it up with perferated aluminium sheet should look mean as hell
