hi, I had seen your thread and have bookmarked it. Looks like a hell of a welding job you have ahead of you. I hope for your sake the body isn’t as bad as the chassis! Good luck! Richard

So Apparently I had not updated for a little longer than I thought! Heres a couple of other bits that I got done before the update I just did started. Got the rear body crossmember back in with a bit of effort. Some plug welds in place but still a few more left to do once everything is...

I do like welding with nice new metal! Since my last update I have received a load of bits from YRM to get on with rebuilding the boot floor, finished painting the section of the chassis that I am done with (everything up to the crossmember for the a-frame), and started with making the repair...

I have a few DTIs and a mag base here If that’s any help? Rich

Hi all, Made a bit more progress. Been working my way forward along the chassis prepping for paint. I decided, for some unknown reason, to read the instructions on the rust.co.uk website for the paints I've been using and discovered that they only recommend using their Zinc Rich Primer...

I’m in a slightly unfortunate position of being able to do most of my work remotely from home. It’s convenient normally but being stuck at home and not able to do any work would be great for progress on the car! The whole stockpiling situation is a bit ridiculous isn’t it! I’ve found at least...

I had a feeling from your thread that you were somewhere in the area but I hadn't noticed just how close until I found that thread in the regional section. Thanks so much for the offer of help and I may just take you up on it actually. Now that I've fully assembled the axle in the garage, I've...

From no photos a few updates ago, this time I have loads! So, my last update I had been working on painting the bits for the rear axle. The next week the next batch of parts were delivered from Paddock Spares with all the bits I had thought of that I needed. Was struggling to find enough...

I hope the head you found is good - if not then I do have a spare early type one in my garage at the moment that I could possibly be persuaded to part with. I think I agree with everyone else in this thread so far as well in terms of why they crack, although I’ll also add that a lot of other...

Hi all, I haven’t stumbled across this one before but I’m located in Filton. Anyone who’s seen my thread about my Range Rover will know it’s not in a state to be out in the lanes but if anyone happens to organise some other sort of meet up/ wants a hand with spanners I’m keen if I’m available...

Sorry for the slight confusion, it was the spring seats on the axle that needed replacing. Had to get the arc welder out to weld them as well as that axle tube is a little heavy duty to weld with 0.6mm wire! AShould be able to do another update sometime soon hopefully. I've been making a...

So I've been putting off doing an update here as I've been pretty crap at taking photos of my work recently. Took a few snaps this evening of the latest bit I've been working on but it's still going to be a little bit of a wordy update. A few weeks back, a friend of mine came to visit me to...

Aah, good point about access to the holes for wax injection! I just used the step drill I was using at the time for making plug weld holes and stepped out to 12mm which is big enough for my wax nozzle, but I did three with one at the centre as I worked out this would allow enough reach with some...

Hi All, Got a bit more done over the past few weeks since my last update... Firstly I did some more dismantling and cutting. Took the near side quarter panel off to reveal this: Looks worse than it really is to be honest. I actually think it's better than the first side was. I also...

You’re probably right about that seam being a little cold to be honest - I think I’m so used to welding to bits that aren’t quite as clean as they should be I probably work with the power one setting too cold a lot of the time when the metal is actually clean and completely free from any putting...

Hi All, I've made a little progress over the past week. Back to work on Monday and out tomorrow, so thought I'd bring this up to date now after today's efforts. Friday evening saw me with this little pile of bits... Suppose that means that I'm definitely committed to putting a new...

Hi all, got a bit more done this week as I was on a course for four days I decided to take Friday off rather than go in on the last working day and the day after the Christmas Social. Some might have seen my thread trying to work out how the back corner of the boot floor originally went...

Of course, makes sense. Richard

‘93 LSE. I have a bit of a restoration thread going here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/classic-lse-rollig-resto.336225/#post-4730712. I’m not very good at keeping it up to date I’m afraid. Why did you guess it’s post ‘89 then? Rich

Awesome, that’s really helpful. I completely forgot that George had done this section in a Soup video! Thanks. I’m now wondering whether to replicate as factory or try to do something different and eliminate the dirt trap on top of TV e cross member under the boot floor side which must be a...
