From what I can tell the inside is good. The outside is very solid, ****ting it with a amma and it sounds good.

It's not a forward step they had paint that lasted 20 years inns act there are sections of paint on the old
Mans 1966 motor unfortunately lead based paint is banned

There is still paint on mine after 28 years.

Preparation time tonight. Want to get it done, board of welding now, want to put it back together now.

Think I got all of the rot. Not a lot left there now, rebuild tomorrow.

The footwell is ready to go in though.

Has anybody got any tips on how to remove old under seal? Wire wheel blocks up, grinding disc melts and smears it. Anything else on the market that can do the job?

Hopefully I will find out tomorrow if a Disco 200 windscreen will fit a RRC

underseal ...blow lamp and scraper , then your wire wheel . thats what I use

lorri789 · May 10, 2013

If you are talking about the old rubbery stuff on the rangies, then heat is indeed the way forward. I found a blow torch and scraper did a great job. I found this out after I noticed the under seal came off easily in areas near to where I had been welding.

Cheers, will try that. Not intending to take it all off just clean areas that need treating.

3rd that...burn it!!!!!

stutab · May 10, 2013

Will get the oxy acetylene out then

or is that a tad overkill

stutab · May 11, 2013

Going well today, till I ran out of welding gas

Got the footwell welded in place

Bit ****ed off that I marked the panel and cut, only to find more rust so had to cut that out as well, now got to patch that

As I had ran out of gas I made the floor plate

Then went to see djdommyp and killajoules to fetch a windscreen that will hopefully fit my Range Rover.

So I stayed and helped them take there Disco apart

Couldn't get the roof in the van

So all in all a good day

KillaJoules · May 11, 2013

All in all a top quality day, cheers stutab.

See you soon I hope.

Ye, sure thing. Put the windscreen in the spare room next to the headliner

I had to alter a cupboard to take a saddle and tack so she can't moan

stutab · May 16, 2013

Still no gas so I opened the sealer I had from fixing a fuel filler in the wifes old Shogun Pinin

fookin ****e car.

Used this

Worked well, I hope

All gone

Found its best to let it dry then if flakes off hands, who needs a Spa this stuff pulls all the dirt, grime and dead skin off

When I ran out of that, it was still warm, light and not raining. So I stripped the boot floor out to see what condition the fuel tank is in.

Can anybody help me, before I start cutting things and pulling apart, what are these 3 pipes? It in in a 3.5 efi rangy, they run up the inside of the rear goalposts

jai_landrover · May 16, 2013

you sure theyre not vents?

Did think vents, but why 3? And there is the vent pipe running with the filler. Will investigate further, maybe with the disc cutter

stutab · May 16, 2013

I will probably answer this myself, but hear goes.

The rubber fuel pipes that join the filter, pipes and tank together have 1/4" on them, closest metric to this is 6mm, so does this mean that I have to replace the solid pipes with 6mm pipes?
