Hi guys sorry for the blackout, I havnt been ignoring you honestly. To be honest I tried to have this MOT'd about march but then work and the uni course they sent me on got in the way. but shortly before MOT I took it for a quick drive up the street with almost no brakes, while driving lots of...

does anyone know where to get replacements from mine have long since perished and I either need to get new replacements or find some patterns to make some new ones

I think the newer winterised wolfs are 2 peice, thankyou Bix Got an absolute bargain on eBay someone had priced an escape hatch wrong so I bought and they honoured it, they even delivered it themselves win-win it's the newer version with a slightly different latch but oh well. With the wet...

ideally I want to find somewhere dry and warm so I can park it up and brush paint but im struggling to find anywhere local so I might have to wait until march April when it warms up and paint it then unfortunately. im keeping it nato green and black basically what it looked like before I rebuilt...

thanks for the kind comments guys its nice to have some encouragement to keep me going. Bix, winterised and winterised wader variants didn't have 2 piece doors and were factory fitted with 1 piece. in the photo below you can still make out the UN markings under the layers of paint Well a busy...

So long time no updates, but I haven't been sitting idle I've just been lazy and not updated the thread With the doors all welded up I got them mounted. A bit of fun and games and 4 arms needed but I got them aligned I then started on the interior. Got the dash in And some of the electrics...

just had a quick look through my book it says it part number MTC5519 and you'll need 2,1 for each side (obviously)

personally I cant see a problem taking the pick up line from the sedimentor, my winterised defender (pre wolf) takes it webasto pick up line line from the fuel filter (right hand rear pick up line) mounted to the bulkhead which is the same housing as the sedimentor mounted behind my fuel tank on...

Thanks Disco I've been trying to get large bulky items out of the summerhouse as space in there is premium and I've not been very popular with it being packed with Land Rover parts for the past 8 months. So this weekend I was sanding and preping the front wings and bonnet and stripping the doors...

I wish I had a pile of lovely fresh galv parts in stock like you. As with all your builds great work looking forward to seeing it progress.

Thank you Flat and greyhair A parcel arrived today looks like my webasto will be working this winter Just got a bit of translation to do, then figure out how it works

Your correct all current British military vehicles are sprayed. But this comes from the era of bucket and brush so to keep it authentic I shall brush paint it I didn't get much time at all this weekend but I did manage to get some of the engine ancillaries in and connected slowly getting...

Thanks Disco1BFG While waiting for more parts I've been painting the coolant pipes that feed the rear radiators and air filter housing and seat box. I could not source the little valve for the bottom so I altered a different type to suit and it's perfect can't even tell I've been searching...

Thank You for that Huddy you are right, after a bit more digging it confirmed what you said Had a busy couple of weeks. I got the sides and roof sanded and a quick coat of paint Then bolted them all up. I'm not happy with the sprayed camo so once the it's all together in hand painting it all...

Thankyou Disco1BFG for your kind words This weekend I've been working hard on the pedal group these has suffered quite badly from trapped mud collecting behind them so we're quite badly rusted outside, but a good wire brush and a good clean and prep by POR15 and they look good as new I...

Now all the welding a done I cracked out the POR15 and gave it a liberal coat, once that semi dried I got the nato green out and gave it a nice thick coat. Then with the misses help I got it all bolted on I finally feel like I'm making progress!

I had the day off today and decided today would be a good day to make some progress. I cleaned the last parts of the gearbox and fitting the clutch Next I got the engine crane out and mounted the gearbox and tightened it all up Next I went onto the bulkhead, the footwells were showing signs...
