Hi and welcome! Nice Landy too!

Looking good! And I’ve got garage envy too!😁

Now thats what I call progress

Progress report, despite it being a day of rest the bloody cat “Hector” made sure I was up at 4.45am ! Convinced he was as keen as me to get out of bed and into the garage I later found out that Mrs Hughes has locked the cat flap while cleaning...

As the proud and happy owner of Mr H's previous resto, christened 'Little Blue', I'll be following with interest! 150 faultless miles across Wales yesterday, and still smiling.

Just dont look too closely to the 20mm of filler peeling off the front wing 😂 Im still wearing my rose tinted safety glasses

a few hours in and progress is definitely being achieved, think I should celebrate with a beer 🍺

Day 1, empty the ton of spares, parts, wheels, roll bar hoops, pedal boxes, engine bits out of the back… cut the canvas off and reveal the inner beauty.. oh hang on Ive still got my rose tinted glasses on

Well if it wasn’t for the singer sowing machine sounding engine going past each morning I wouldn’t have given her a second look, beauty is in the eye of the beholder they say and in this instance … well a picture tells a thousand words

Each day while working at RAF valley I saw this tired looking def zooming past the workshop at approximately 7.45 every morning, used as a daily driver and having spent many a happy year or should I say century green lane’in with the family the...

Alternatively, coincide fitting it with a replacement windscreen if you get the chance.

Opened the windows to let some fresh air in and damp air out.

2 more lamps on, just another 2 next to the top ones to come. Going to take her in to a local body shop this week just to talk about some paint work. New all terrains should be going on the front this week as well. Last owner had put trail...

Its had its moments when things fail, they have always made me smile though.and only once since Iv owned it has it not got me home(clutch fork realise arm through the pivot))

You must have the most reliable Land Rover on the forum, always seems to be ok.

Ours do it even if it hasn't been driven. I just think its a good "sneaky" vantage point safe from others. J

It’s warm for them. It’s when they climb into the radiator cowl. I don’t have the fan so plenty of room for them to fall asleep.

First job… de cat it Delivered the hay to the horses.no room for the straw so onto the bonnet Had another 100mile weekend of joyful driving

2025 UPDATE SO, THE NEW DEFENDER Yes STILL LIKING IT? I've driven a few old ones as they've come up for sale locally. The best was a pristine 2012 TDCi XS Utility with 30,000 miles. l went for a drive in it, and apart from a clattering/play...

That’s the idea, yes. Self tapping screws.

Hi and welcome!

It’s in a garage and when out I always use a steering wheel lock. If I’m leaving it for any length of time I use a pedal box.

You will need a lot of luck/space getting in the V8. Rear prop shafts will be short. Mrs owns a S1 80 and I hate the lack of space for my big hands. Some will say you should not do that to an old motor but…. It’s better to rebuild than let it...

Hello guys, I've already mentioned my Series 1 (incorrectly stating it was a '53, turns out it's a '52 after all, after checking with the DMV) on the forum, it has been sitting for many years... My grandpa bought it in July 1975 and used it as...

Turns out it was just the breather pipe... I can finally fill the tank, yay! Since then, I fitted an A bar with a new bumper and some Hella Comets. Not to everyone's taste, but I won't mind a bit more light on those unlit roads at night. The...

I fitted the repair kit in my old disco 1 with its curly dash. It’s an awkward job but works well. You’ll find some new swear words when you do so!

If you ever remove an engine. Tape up your loom. Otherwise it may dangle onto the prop when your winching and wrap itself up and rip 🤢 Resto moved to its final build place I hope.

Finished fixing dash at lunch. You can see it’s just started to curl. The repair kit is on it’s way and will be much easier without the dash in the car!
