pics tiged on the screen hinges, feel like a fraud calling them hinges, a piece of tube welded to a piece of 4mm flat bar .. !! any hoo, they do the job .. :) A few adjustments required to get things to sit flush and tidy and a flash over with the flap wheel and file to take off the odd...

Should be OK Col, the seat riser isnt as high as a standard one so im kind of sitting lower in the car .. I drive a chopped 31 Ford coupe most days, seeing the traffic lights is always a neck stretcher :(

From what Ive seen the screen usually has a riser panel below it , Ive not bothered with that and mounted it directly above the frame work Next part of the plan but not right now, will be to chop the screen frame to lower it by around 4 maybe 5 inches . Unfortunately that means new glass as...

Still plugging away. almost looks like a proper land rover now . Got most of the trans tunnel fabricated and welded up, got te screen mounts stripped from some rusy old A posts, cleaned up and welded to the new framework, Got the screen mounted, made up the and welded on the mount tabs to the...

had a look at the way the rear wheels sit under the bed sides . could do with a wider rim but Im to tight to buy any so plan is to have a look at the standard rims and reverse the centres to make them look a wee bit wider ..

back in the shed after tea. made a start to welding up the trans tunnel and seat base . and welded up a wee bit more of the body framework . Eyeballed a few other jobs and reformulated the plan :) Starting with printing out the English version of the TIG welder instruction manual I always...

So, the auld fella got his pacemaker and is back home, just taking care of a few tings there before I got back into the shed to crack on with this distraction project. managed to make up the floor from some ally sheet, and got a framework made to support the body sides . , Also cut the original...

Bought myself a new plasma cutter , had one for years but they took up to much space in the shed so flogged them when I hadn't used it for a while ..Any ways, I've found that between the 109 and this thing project I could have done with a replacement . I didn't want to spend a fortune so looked...

Currently burying my head in the sand over spectre of registration . Technically its no different to "repairing" a tired landrover chassis using a new front and rear section and adding new outriggers , but legally any deviation from original chassis spec renders the project liable to BIVA ...

cut the floors and seat riser from a sheet of 2mm ally , managed to get most of it from a sheet of 6 x 3 . Trans tunnel will be from 1.6 mm made a start to templating it and will probably spend Tuesday working it out and hopefully getting it done . pics are rubbish but here are a couple of the...

Any progress ? I havent seen any updates for a while .. hope all is well ..

been a while since I saw an update on this one , must be getting close now :)

So after a wee break on Saturday it was straight back in the shed for a wee catch up made a pair of lower hinges, trimmed the lower sub rails behind the B posts, fitted the passenger side B post , marked up, cut and welded in the A panels into place and welded the substructure to the bulkhead...

Took the VW camper for a spin barely turned a wheel last year , She likes that, so much so the suggestion that I should sell it wont be raised again LOL . We passed places today that she mentioned we would get to in the land rover that we cant reach in the Van.. That was why the original...

Trimmed, tweaked and trail fitted the bulkhead , made sure the wheels cleared the toe board before welding thigs in place , will ned to come out again to complete the fabrication but so far so good :) Hoped the P4 gearbox cover would work but the starter bulge is on the wrong side and further...

priced up front and rear shox, new front discs and pads , flexis, suitable radiator , oil cooler and oil pipes , exhaust down pipe and a set of tyres . can manage all that for just a tad over £800, so still well within budget,

Cheers , it could be neater but the inside of my welding mask steams up and it gets tricky to see what your doing , Have to hold my breath most of the time to stop things steaming up.. The tig does produce a pretty weld though . better still if you pay attention to prep before welding. Some of...

Stop press: wife's just told me she's off work on Friday and Saturday .. I guess my fun will be curtailed :( looks like rain on Friday though, so might be off the hook LOL..
