Tan-Y-Grisiau in the Old Chapel. have done some work for him. :cool:

Cool. Moving stuff? He has a load of stuff up near belvoir now i think and in forest of dean. Awesome stuff. I bump into him at family get togethers, funerals etc. Think i got my love of working with natural wood from him
 
superb job mate what did you use to make that and how do you fix it to the landrover?

Got a sheet of 18mm exterior plywood and made a small bracket that attaches just under the sliding windows, I'll get some more detailed pictures tomorrow, and some basic dimensions if you want? :D

Ya breaker bar is too big :D :D

Because me and my dad are such awesome carpenters :tea: we made the inside of it 18"x15" and the breaker bar fit's perfectly across :D The breaker bar just moved because of the massive G-force that is generated in transit :p

just loaded up ready to take me niece to show her 'middle' horse, Rooney, at a local show.
 
Bright sunlight, lovely morning, just got in after watching and helping niece at a local show, she got a third and a 1st, but I had to come away earlier, so as it looked set fair thought I'd get the Disco up on axle stands, remove all wheels and fettle ****e ...

Rear axle up OK, front passenger side it started to drip with rain .. moved to front drivers and a feckin' cloudburst! Got it up on all four and bolted for the door!

That was 10 minutes ago, it's now hot sunshine again .. with a dirty great black cloud just showing set to pour it down again!

Love our weather, wish I had a dry barn, and a four post lift!
 
Tried to change track rod ends! Only 1 of the 4 would come out :(, and noticed that one of the steering rods is bent, had to order a new steering rod set from paddocks, and it comes with track rod ends when i have already purchased a set :( oh well all fun and games, guess im cycling to work until the steering rod set arrive :(
 
Wired up the horse trailer camera to the Landy ready for a trip to Newmarket on Tuesday and fuse 15 is holding out...not blown yet so obviously haven't triggered something to make it blow as I need the cigar lighter to power the LCD screen, however, I have 18 fuses in my glovebox on standby! :D

Fitted my fuel filter fuel pump and
Hoses to the trialer need to do up the pump securing bolt but seems job is a goodun!

Will hopefully tomorro solder ( nothing worse than a dodgy Luca terminal intermittent connection on a fuel pump) new wires and run the earth directly to the battery and the fuel pump to the switch no joints all soldered!
Need to secure the fuel line along top of chassis rail every 100mm ready for engine fitment!!
