That rust looks worse than the first picture suggests. It might be worth fitting new chassis legs.

@scott3933 remember your chassis number should be on that jacking point. Skin & weld the inside. Make a few tubes for the bumper bolts to go through & then flat the front. Happy welding

I've done a bit of cutting and poking and sucking rust out with trusty Henry and yeah, the situation isn't ideal! Definitely a bit worse than I was hoping for as there's a hole through to inside the crossmember, but I think im still gonna try...

That’s the very chap.

Thought I would give building up the door tops a try tonight. Never done it before, but I had a look on YouTube and there are some good tutorials. I bought everything new, as you’d expect but I reused the old glass. The glass has some scratches...

Is that the full mud stuff dash? I looked at it but couldn’t face chopping the dash so went with the top dash pod, which fits where the ash tray sits.

I had the same on my 90 two years ago. I went to replace the bumper only to find the front chassis legs almost non-existent! A previous owner had had some welding done badly which had only hidden the issue. I ended up having a new front chassis...

So today I made the silly move of taking off the bumper to have a look... yeah im not sure exactly what I was expecting tbh. I'm thinking I'll just try and patch it up as best I can. I don't really fancy replacing the whole dumb iron with a...

I’ve had a dash thing in my garage for a few years now, but can’t bring myself to fit it as it needs a bit of the lower dash chopped out.

Oil pressure is a good shout, that's the only extra gauge I have in my 110, it's a nice Durite mechanical one. I quite like being able to watch the pressure, although I need to shorten the capillary tube as its way too long and just coiled up...

Hi and welcome! Very nice restoration too!😎

Hello Flossie, Here are some pictures of it. It was only on the road from mid 1980 untill end of 1986. Then it sat in a boat hangar for 30 years. I bought it in 2017 and started restoring it. Now, 8 years later I'm ready to go to the Belgian MOT...

It came with four switches and two holes for 52mm guages. I’ve already got a boost guage fitted and a voltmeter which I will likely move to the dash pod and blank the holes in the lower dash where the previous owner fitted them. I would like an...

The early coil sprung Land Rovers are not Defenders, they are Land rover One ten and Ninety vehicles.[can make a difference when looking for parts] The land Rover name then became the company name so the vehicle had to have its own name so...

Put an offer in as it’s still for sale after a year. Although it’s a business so they might be a bit more resistant. What feedback have the company got? Any google reviews?

Dinitrol do a clear wax you could use. Take the rust back on the axles as much as you can, use a rust converter then paint them. You could spray with a wax if wanted afterwards. It all needs to be very clean before applying anything though. Don't...

Hand paint the black wax/paint the axles.

Simple solution is to use a clear wax. Even the galvanized chassis will benefit from the protection. They do corrode but just a lot slower than painted steel and a coating of wax will help keep the look you like.

Bought a mud stuff dash pod from another forum member last week… 😁

I'm getting somewhere now... I got the front springs and shocks replaced today, cleaned up the area a bit along with putting on shiny new galv turrets. Still to put the expansion tank back in place etc but I'm happy with how things have come on...

Oh, and here’s where one of god’s little flying creatures flew in and had a **** on the paint while it was drying 🤬 Where’s my air rifle 🤔

Tedious but look good in the end.

Started sanding the roof down for painting. Dog of a job given whoever painted it last seems to have used some chewing gum based paint 😏

I put a new switch on and it seems to be working. I hope that'll be OK for another few years.

I have known both headlights to go together. Can be the sudden surge that one going can cause in the other or simply the old bathtub curve.It fooled me when it happened on our BX. I too didn't think it could be the bulbs so the wife took it to a...

Exactly the same thing my son said when I sent him the photo.🤣 It's straight now.

Your fresh air nose is twisted ;). J

Noticed that the headlights aren't working. I expect it is the switch. It usually is. They still come on with the flash function on the other stalk, and they've both gone together which means that it isn't bulbs or an individual bit of dodgy...

Polished a turd.

Changed the clutch master cylinder which had been seeping for a while. When I last changed it in the 2000's I welded a square plate to the bottom master retaining bolt so it could not turn. Whole lot less bother getting it out this time.🐱 smile...
