First job this weekend was to dinitrol inside the chassis, so I did that and got it everywhere in the process :) Next I attached the new pan hard rod, and sort of out the steering damper in place, I'm Waiting on my steering box coming back from being reconditioned so once I get that I'll be...

And I also realized Iv put a kink in the NSF brake pipe when fitting the track rod so I'll have to make a new one at some point :)

After I got it rolling I decided to for the rear A frame. That didn't go to plan either but after an hour or two I persuaded it to fit :) The I fitted the gearbox crossmember so has to jack the chassis open slightly to get it to fit but I believe that's the case with most galv chassis. And...

So, Iv put a fair few hours into the Landy today. First job was to put the axles under the chassis and get it rolling, easier said than done. It took me ages to get it all together. It looks great having axles complete with everything on but then they didn't want to fit but after a few hours of...

cheers hopefully it'll be almost as good as yours Yeah i made my brake pipes myself, just buy a flaring tool off ebay and crack on, iv got a franklin one that cost me about £20 and it does the job perfectly. nothing as of yet, i just sprayed the whole chassis so I'll have to take...

So Iv been busy this week. I put three layers of top coat on my chassis so that all done now and then I attached the turrets, rear shock mounts and spring relocators. I also fitted some diff guards to both axles and the attached the sumobars that got delivered the other day. Iv just cable...

Got the first layer of the top coat on today so hopefully come the weekend I'll be able to put the axles under and make myself a rolling chassis. Mr postman delivered lots of parcels this morning, most of them from Gwyn Lewis. Iv got myself a pair of props, a full sumo bat set, a steering...

I like the look of those doors, I might get a pair myself when the time comes! Decent price too

Thanks for the help mate but I found a guy locally who had some. I went round to take them off a disco he was breaking and ended up getting a pair of a rolling military chassis he had lying around. He had loads of landys kicking about, a several series2/3's a few discos and a few defenders. I'll...

Yes I believe so, aslong as the bolts arnt seized in. That would be great if you do, would you be able to check for me. I messaged the guy selling it to see if he would just sell me the brackets if it ended with no bids but somebody put a bit in at the last min. I'm sure I'll be able to...

Cheers gents. I was thinking I might have to get a full a frame too. Going to see if I can find anybody breaking a disco before I buy the full thing. I wonder why they cost so much new.

Anybody know where I can buy myself a pair of these. I accidentally threw mine away when I scrapped the A frame. Iv bought myself a new A frame but iv only just realized I need the mounts aswel.

Question. So iv got a couple of layers of primer on the chassis now and I was just thinking what to do about the earths as iv covered every inch of the chassis in paint now. What does everybody else normally do? Do you just scrape the paint off, attach the earths and then re-paint. I was...

That's the plan. I should be able to get a complete rolling chassis with engine, transfer and gearbox all fitted before I have to move.

That's the first coat of primer on now. Got to leave 24h between coats so going to do one tomorrow evening and on Monday aswel. Then I can start the top coat :)

I'm lucky that iv got plenty of work space, only got it for a few more months as I'm moving with work so it's looking like I'll won't have anywhere to continue the rebuild for a while.

Iv got my chassis down to work now so I can crack on. Hopefully doing my trailer test in the next few months so I won't have to rely on somebody else. So... I got some mates to help me lift it off the trailer and onto the stands. Then we made a little spray booth around it with some plastic...

I love my snap on impact gun. Makes everything easier :)

Looking good mate. I can't wait until Iv got something that resembles a defender :-D

I also managed to fit the poly bushes to the radius Arms, trailing arms, and A frame. I then started to prep a bonnet I had laying about, the plan is to prep it and paint it to see if I like the paint I have bought and as a bit of a test as Iv never sprayed before. When prepping a panel for...
