Now gone…

Got back onto the second row floor today. I primed and painted the crossmember to get it ready for fitting to the floor. While that was drying, I countersunk the 3 strengtheners to fit countersunk rivets. Once I was happy with that, I put some purflex 40 onto all the mating surfaces to create a...

Sealey 10 ton hydraulic pipe bender with mandrels as pictured. It’s hardly been used and is in great condition. I used it to make tubular bumpers and roll cages for some off road builds I did a few years ago. local pickup due to weight. £70 DM if you’re interested - cheers

Disco 1 original alloys. Need refurbished as can be seen in photos. Ideally I would like them to go to some who will use them rather than scrapping them. £10 each. Local uplift preferred, from south of Glasgow area. PM for more info. Thanks

Steel wheels for Disco 1 - free to uplift. South of Glasgow area. DM if interested…. Thanks

Got a bag of poly bushes for a disco 1. They are brand new but it’s not a full kit. What you see is what you get 😊. might be of use to someone. £15 plus postage. DM if interested please.

After dealing with rust it was nice to fit a painted panel! Ive had the tunnel reinforcement for ages, so I ordered some new screws and washers, installed the dum dum on the back and screwed it on. Very satisfying!

Moving onto the crossmember, I took the old rusty one and screw pinned it back to back with the new one. This gave me a cut line to ensure the extension pieces will fit exactly when welded. After cutting, I cleaned up both surfaces, pinned them to the floor and welded the extension pieces onto...

The top hat section was delivered today from YRM (great service as usual), which spurred me on to strip the second row floor down. I drilled out the rivets and spot welds holding the top hat ribs under the floor. Once it looked like Swiss cheese, I chiselled them off. I cut the new top hat...

Stripped down the ‘b’ post bulkhead and stripped off all the underseal which was a nightmare as it was like solid tar! I also stripped the corroded cross member from the second row floor to reveal that the top hat sections were also holed 😩. I’ve ordered the top hat repair section from YRM and...

Definitely, not got time to hang about and moan about it 🙂. I’m keeping the Landrover but will be selling my Triumph, Jaguar and MGB project. I want to put MOT’s on them to give the new buyers confidence that they are mechanically sound . I need to crack on with bodywork now to make some useful...

No worries, got some time to clear stuff out, so will let you know what’s going and when 👍

Yes, it’s been difficult realising that the chances of me doing my hobby in the future are pretty much nil. But life goes on and at least I have a few months to get stuff sold. I’m planning to keep my Landrover project - hopefully completed by then!

Due to me losing my garage by August 2024, I will unfortunately have to sell my classic cars and possibly workshop equipment too, if anyone is interested. I will be selling a 1973 Triumph 2000 in great condition in French blue with an MOT ( mot and tax exempt). Also I will be selling a Jaguar...

The next job is to prepare the floor panels and bulkhead for paint which sits between the first and second row seats. The reason for this is to tie both b pillars together. Once this is done I can move onto the seat box and rear upper body sides. My plan is to use a standard rear tub crossmember...

Once the rivets were in, I fitted the rear sill brackets, them the front sill captive plate and nuts to the bulkhead, which was a bit of a faff, but got there 😄

Been fairly busy on the Landy today. I’ve got a deadline to get it finished now as I’m losing my garage in August. Not ideal, but that’s life. I decided to focus on the sills and b post assembly today. After, lining the assembly up, I used some screw pins to hold it together. As I am using 110...

Ah, that’s fantastic. Much appreciated! The clip looks the same as the one on the drivers side on my gearbox, so I’ll move it to the rear and check for the chassis clip too. That will allow me to get another bit done 😀. Thanks again.

I seem to have a ‘p’ clip on the driver’s side of the gearbox which I’m not sure is right. If you have any pics, I’d appreciate seeing them!

Not so much done due to other commitments this weekend 🙁. Ordered the screws, washers and speedo cable. Once they arrived and after a bit of faffing around, I got the gearbox end fitted. Looking for some feedback on the routing of the cable. If any of you have any idea of how it goes I would...
