I looked at the YRM parts, they are not bad and if the metal is reasonably sound I would probably go that way and keep the originality but my B and C post are a bit too far gone to be worth repairing

Yes I know the problem well, despite careful measurements and alignment there is always an element of eyes on guesstimation involved, however land rovers are pretty forgiving when it comes to this sort of thing so any problems can be overcome later on in the build without to much stress. Plenty...

Nice bit of metalwork and welding, I can see a lot of hours fabricating and welding have gone into it! and its not easy I know to get things realigned and looking right, look forward to the next photo update

Nice photos and enjoyed the video thank you, the roads look pretty hard on the landy

Hi Just wondering what paint you used on the chassis, "gravi guard" is that a single part paint or something a bit more?

Nice job, thanks for the photos, I may have a go at something similar

Yes there is that:) I put a "request" in. Feel slightly guilty for asking mundane questions of them, I'm sure they must get allot of these kind of requests

Its a practical solution to a problem!, and it looks fine to me, I quite like it

Hi, do you have any surplus seat base's?

Ok, so you don't get too much more for the money, Thanks

Yes I'll give FOI a try and see what they come up with first. I suppose if you pay the £35 and get the RLC to search it they will decipher the code letters / nubers for you

Hi Just wondered has anyone navigated the Peddars Way? I've been wanting to drive it for a long time but I'm told that much of what can be driven is very fragmented and difficult to find the legal route?

A good reason to look after the ones that are around

Billing is not what is was years ago, it just got too popular and too many problems with the numbers attending, having said that its still a good show

Ok thanks I'll have to have a look for some, possibly a bit late for this winter but at least I'll be ready for next:)

Just found some reports online that others have requested in the past, as you say a bit basic but the info is there, but it does need some deciphering

Probably a daft question but what does "Merlin" stand for?

I had no idea that this sort of information was available under the FOI,

Its a Defender 110
