Thanks for that, hopefully won't take long to finish now.
The wifes jap donkey dragger is up for mot so though I should investigate the bubbling on the wing.
Never done any filler work before, didn't come out to bad.
hello!!!
hows you??
happy xmas to you too!!
RR looks good!! (unlike above..lol.
.next time while fillering..rub back body much much further and blend in the filler much much further.the idea is to blend it into the panel so you cant tell its there..its abit like welding..ie practise ,practise ,practise..did mrs jap thingy pass?

Cheers for the advice. Im good, just building a workshop. It failed on 18points
but after replacing the rear break system, front pads, welded the sill, replaced the fuel line etc etc, 2 nights on a friends ramp it passed. On the lookout for a disco in the spring to replace it.Anyway, have a good Christmas.

I'm back on the Rangy now took the tarp off for the first time since July
Think I need to put another couple of coats on the roof after the tarp damage
So, flat tyres compressor pipe won't reach, I'll just use the mobile compressor
About the only useful thing about the tractor
Anthoo, pumped up tyres let's move it into the workshop, my way
A little re position needed
So glad I didn't fit the fuel tank
With a bit of muscle power and a nudge or two I got it in
Plenty of work room around it
Now to sort out the full interior and the 2 creates of parts and I can get started again.

Rate, spot of tinkering tonight. First off I built this
All in place and working
Then I cleaned the rust off and painted the new steering column.
Then finished the front brake pipes. I apologise for the pics, my phone batt was low so no flash.
Does anyone want to buy these off me? They are sills for a 4 door to repair rotten ones.
If no takers they will go on ebay. £20+ postage

Looks like the nissan terrano.... unmistakable puny suspension bits.
I think the term 'jap crap' was coined because of that car.
Amazing how fast they deteriorated from new.
Anyway, nice to see you back at work on the classic... keep up the good work.

Ye, lack of time and other stuff going on, how you getting on with yours?
I love the vast range of colours! Keep the pictures and updates rolling!
Colours are fairly random. I got the black and the blue for the panels but don't want to use it on unseen bits so I use what I have laying about or the bosses don't want. The chassis will be covered in waxoyl so the red will go.
I hate that car with a passion, it's not even a nice drive and considering it has a 2.7 it has sweet fa power or torque. I want to replace it with a non lpg V8 disco, I prefere the 200series with the 3.5 efi but the wife wants a 3.9 but wont pay what they are worth.
It's nice to be back on the classic, I have my process in my head and hopefully all of the expensive bits have been bought so should be fairly simple. I put an offer on a very nice 3.5efi that someone is pulling out of a RTV trialer just incase my one is stuffed.

All I seam to be doing at the moment is moving fookin horses around so not much time on the Rangy. I did manage to paint the radius arms during work on Friday.
I need to clear the outside and try and fit it in before the boss starts moaning. Anyone want a chassis? Or dash bits of the SE before they go scrap yard?

Wahay, time on the Rangy 
:5bparty:
One job at a time and do it once, do it right.
Thought I had better get the steering back together so if i need to move it it will be easier.
First job, strip down the original steering column
Dam security bolts.
To get them out, first drill a hole
Then tap a old flat head screwdriver into the hole
Then unscrew, simples
It looks like the indicator stalk had been replaced by a cowboy butcher in the past
I have put it back on for now but either want to replace it or solder and heat shrink the joins, if anybody had a working one in there spares bin they are willing to sell please get in touch.
So after finding some some bolts that fit the ignition barrel and refitting the dodgy indicator stalk, before I forget how it goes, Its built
And fitted
Hmmmmmm, Which job next?????????

It is fairly clean, tidy, no as I am still trying to fit everything in, my theory is to fit bits back on the Rangy to make more room.
