Trimmed out a couple of areas of foam where is was below cracked vinyl and was turning to dust. Now to fill with expanding foam and cover with cling film, also fill some bits missed 48 years ago.

The gluing down some detached foam padding. A big enough piece of vinyl fabric cut to do the job. The steel vinyl cover clips from underside, getting an anti rust bath in Kurust, in a bag.

There's a small addition to the back of Gigi the Landy

Old vynal striped off as it was so brittle and separated quite easily. Some surface rust which was cleaned up with white brushes, manual and powered. And treated all the surface rust left with Kurust. I hope to glue the slightly detached foam parts tomorrow. They've been treated and should...

Well I hope your cognitive skills are working well lol. That's a lot of work you've done, and I've no doubt inches of grime removed too. Many of the gears looking good from what can be seen, good luck finding Any replacement pairs needed. The quality Italian bearing sets and seals are very...

Finally managed to get the top dash off. Still drivable lol There's some cleaning, treating and touching up of paint before the recovered dash goes back on. But I'm getting ahead of myself! The old vynal is very brittle. Not surprising after 47 years of ultraviolet exposure. Here's the...

Winch looking lovely. I'm sure it will really finish off the front nicely and be useful also. The galvanised parts look great too. It's the prep and refurbishing of individual parts that sometimes makes you feel like your standing still and getting nowhere, until you start putting them all...

By golly,. That's the business

Not Shure, it's a new tank, but I did clean out the glass bowl gravity filter last week and there was some tiny bits of rust there. I was going to put a powerful magnet under the fuel tank situated away from the fuel pickup area. The hope being to collect and hold any rust. Also have a Weber ICH...

Dizzy's great, but still got inconsistent rough running. So I cleaned the carb - filter and idle screw out. This has made everything so much more consistently smooth. My carbs a Weber 34 ich, there was some junk in the filter housing. Big brass bolt just under the inlet. Some dirt was causing...

Original deceased with pre wipe, will mark the timing onto the retaining plate

Looking promising. There is some play in the bushes of original And replacement has an extra O thing on the drive shaft housing, which seems a good idea

Yay, The new dizzy's here (•‿•) I hope it's the right one, I hope I install it correctly and I hope it solves the timing wandering off problem. It's a copy of the original Lucas, but seems of good quality

Everything replaced and set correctly, but there's still an intermittent fault with the dizzy. I'm thinking the centrifugal weights are sticking, of the return springs for them or the vacuum advance have lost their tension. A bit like my waist lol. When running well she runs very well, but then...

Finally got all the correct parts and fitted then. Original Lucas mostly. Everything's working much better, but occasionally getting a problem of the timing drifting off a bit and allowing Gigi to stall :-( Maybe it's the vacuum advance, but it's all able to move freely. I'll put some redex in...

Is it not the imperfections that make a Landy perfect <(￣︶￣)>

I took the folk at Mike's garage a couple of boxes of magnum ice-creams, they were appreciated. I'm cleaning the air filter, not a fun job! And shoved on a quickly cleaned spare from my other car. This was a mistake :confused: As it's obviously not in good internal shape and is leaking oil...

That's everything running just thought now I don't know why but she seems to need to be just advanced of the mark, timing. She's running very hot and lacking power of I set the timing on the first mark, which is for 90-96 octane. This may be because I use the more expensive fuel as in 5%...

Touched up the engine paint a little too, before removing the old spark plugs

Doing some essential maintenance It's a hot day, the small dog won't even sleep in side Gigi. Prefers the vented garage floor I was getting some engine knock, Mike local peterculter garage guy suggested retard the ignition timing. I checked with my awesome 70's style timing gun Yep it was...
