Popped three rivnuts into the roof so the rear view mirror bracket is attached properly - it was previously held in place with one bolt and a self tapper!
 
set its tappets n managed to put a spacer in front of pas pump bracket so now it has a bit of adjustment. other wise just a year long rolling service to keep doing.
 
Just done the tracking, bit o' string method .. Not sure an off-road oriented with extreme tyres Landy needs much more!

1st impressions ... Feckin' ell ... shoulda re-tracked it ages ago. Now drives properly straight again, with steering straight and only affected by cambers! I thought it was better when I put the new HD track rod and drag link bar on, and it was, but now it's tracked it's even easier to steer, it's stopped the tyres rubbing on the radius arms, and it just 'feels' so much nicer. ;)

Now to check wheel bearings again and re-pack them all with waterproof grease!
 
Started the refurb of the 8 spoke Wellers this morning. Sanded and ground out all the rust, crud and old paint. Getting ready for primer this afternoon.
 
Finally finished the 2 year project, started it when i was 15 and now just about to pass my driving test. fair to say its been a labour of love!!

Looks nice. Get some hench security to stop the pikes taking it
 
i leant mine to a mate and now think the turbo has blown on it. But its still stuck in a layby as i cant be assed to worry about it
 
I'll take one don't worry ;) weathers meant to be sunny and cloud free too so should hopefully be decent!

Off to pick up a temperature gauge and toolbox before though
 
Boost gauge has arrived, so Ill be fitting that this eve, shouldn't take long full complement of gauges now, oil temp & pressure, boost, and of course water/fuel and volts.
 
Got my Disco engine ready to take out, rain tomorrow so will lift it out on Thursday:)

And I remembered to disconnect the earth strap :)
