Yes there was plenty of questions about it.

Actually it is Diolen and is a fabric that I used in the front wings. The lay up is the same as Slalom conoe's ( E cloth and Diolen) which are made to bounce over rocks. I bashed the drivers side wing into a big tree, it bent the bumper back into the tire and bounced the car sideways. I was sure...

our club P&D came first last year and second this year.

A few pic's from the national. The mud hole in the team recovery was errm muddy.

Well I made it to the Nationals at Copford farm. it was a good drag down there (190 miles) but we had a good weekend away. Saw old friends, talked Land Rovers and did the CCV. I didn't do any good in the CCV but that was to be expected after not trialing for 28 years and in a new motor. The...

I'll be there all weekend, looking forward to it.

I think you did well too bug out of that situation. I once had a similar situation. I crossed the Med into Ceuta, it was very late and once through customs I was approached by a couple of guys who were trying to sell me drugs and looking in the windows of my 109 safari. So like you I drove off...

A few more

As promised a pic of the 1962 2A that I am fitting a new rear crossmember on. I will put more up latter.

Yes Killajoules I will see you at the national, I am looking forwards to it. I haven't competed for many years so I am mainly going for the social. Buxton and district have an event this weekend, a pay and play on Sunday and a trial on Monday. I am going to do the sunday as I can spend many...

Ok when I start it I will put a pic up.

What a great idea, I think also an A70 or an A40 pickup would look awsome as long as you take the time to lower the body to the correct height on the chassis and not just drop it on top and make some brackets.

It was 5 years of fun really. I have to find something else to do now, though I do have a 2A here that I am fitting a rear crossmember on, rebuilding the steering and removing the MK5 transit engine and fitting a 2 1/4 petrol back in. It's for an old guy who purchased it in the 60's. the thing...

That seems a long time ago now, No wait it was a long time ago.

Thanks guys. It has already been dirty, I took it to a club trial for a test/tuning day. I am planing to go to Nottingham land Rover club next weekend who have an offroad day at Stainby and then at the end of May I will be at the ALRC national at Horam east sussex.

The engine ECU is now mapped, I just have mudflaps to make for Comping and thats it nothing left to do.

That will make a smart S3 when it's done. Nowt wrong with welding your old chassis it will last many years if done properly. I used to refurb series Land Rovers at a place in Burton and we gave a 5 year guarantee on the chassis and never had one come back.

Another option is to fit a step you can't break

Ensure the tail door is closed, the vehicle unlocked and the alarm disarmed. On 3 door models, ensure the roof is on (hard back) or lowered and secured (soft back). Disconnect the battery earth lead, observing battery disconnection electrical precautions detailed in the Workshop Manual Service...
