Bobtailed the disco. RobinT reckons there's summat wrong wiv it. But I'm sure I've cut it in the right place.. :confused:



And decided that if a defender can have a removable transmission tunnel. To make it easier to get at the bell housing bolts. So can a disco..

Maybe you should tray-front the Fender next :p
 
Was a lush day today :D got a decent amount done and had a look at some mods for the chassis in order to keep the 5 points if they start being picky ;)

Pics and write up to follow
 
Installed my new 99p ebay mg seats fitted new light and painted and installed new wheels

Got a shift on again today, body off and started to look at the best place to move the cab back to!

Thinking 1/3rd into the pickup bed leaving a decent amount of space and giving a good amount of extra room inside

So heres the pics (didn't get any in situ ones)

Floor out as well as checker plate bench pieces and crossmember cover (britpart sticker was still on that crossmember)

Tub off

Central slat missing as the fixing was corroded so going to put some angle onto the sides, rivet it in and rivet the slat to that for support

Spent the last couple of days cruising around the Isle of Wight in mine. Got flagged down by a couple last night who were driving a vw camper van on Brading down and had got their vehicle bogged when trying to turn it around.

Van came out a piece of p*** but I noticed the nearside front wheel was a little noisey when I was reversing. :(

New discs, pads and dust shields are now on order. :rolleyes:
 
Measured up the rear tub for repair panels, tub needs extensive repairs, rivet gun on order to fix it and measurements made.

Had an idea for the cab spacing too
 
New stereo and recovered my side panels then fitted new speakers in them too.

Why is nothing is ever simple!!!! Especially with Landys!

Went to fit bucket seats in today. Then realised I have to weld some box section in for some actual support.

The rear still ####ing leaks! Even after sorting it all out, i have some to the solution there must be a hole in the roof.

**** loads of water has flooded in at the back passanger side, also round some broken rivets.

On the plus side test fit my new bucket and it gave wayyy more space! But the side bolsters are a little too narrow for me, so put a load of weights and LR magazines to 'widen' it a little bit.
