Lovely stuff. Another one back on the road. Congratulations.

Fworrrrr indeed! Here's my next project once the land rover is finished.

Congratulations! That's great news.

Almost certainly. 😆

I didn't see. Already there when we arrived and still in situ as we left. I hope they didn't have a long drive home.

Here's another oddity that I spotted at Fir Park wings and wheels yesterday. It's near Market Rasen and there's another one in August. Nice little show. Free entry, they just ask for donations for the air ambulance. Maybe if I spent a bit less time at shows and a bit more time on mine it would...

Lovely straight looking old thing. I don't think i'd even bother painting it. Having said that I am in the middle of painting mine. But I wouldn't have if I didn't have to if you know what I mean. Just ignore me.

Ok. Now we're on to something. Doctors put me on vit d because i'm always feeling tired and lethargic. I think it's the fact that my job, where I spend most of my waking hours, bores the arse off me but there you go. What supplements do you recommend?

Enthusiasm is a very rare thing. If there's any spare I could do with a slack handful.

Price rises are shocking at the moment. Wage rises don't seem to be keeping up.

Bodywork is hard and tedious. The bulkhead behind the seats is my next target. It's had a bit of a pasting in the past and looks like loads in the rear tub may not always have been as secure as they should have been. Given the overall state of the bodywork I mustn't get carried away with trying...

Don't say that. I'm pinning all my hopes on retirement. 😆

Very little progress. Here's what there is. All the weld seams sealed over with Puraflex 40. That stuff is becoming my first choice for fixing everything. Not pretty but it is effective. Then primed all over with hammerite special metals primer solely because the lid of the tin was going rusty...

Great to see the project on the go again. If only we didn't have to go to work we could make so much progress with the projects.

Lovely job. It's perfect how you are always just nicely ahead of where i'm up to. It means I get a nice bit of warning about what to expect. :D

I suppose the luxury end of the market is where the money is but it's sad that land rover no longer make the kind of vehicles that made the company in the first place. Also talking to the chap the other day he was saying he had to take a new defender to the JLR dealership for a plug in and reset...

I was talking to the chap on the stand for a while and we both agreed that you can't beat an old series landy. :D

Here's something a bit off topic. Been to the Notts county show today at the Newark showground and got a look an the Ineos Grenadier for the first time in the flesh. I really like it. Don't get me wrong I have no need for one and couldn't begin to afford one any way but if those lottery...

Those de-mister things already look a bit dried out in the photo. Maybe why they're cheap. I've been looking at big sheets of the EVA. Still thinking about it. Going to wait until i'm ready for fitting it for final decisions. As it stands the dash is another piece that's in storage in the...

Just found something interesting. Need two of these. One missing altogether and the other is perished beyond redemption. Seal for Demister Tube SER.3.Part No. 346785 NOW £8.18 exc. VAT £9.82 inc. VAT As you can see £9.82 including the VAT from Craddocks. Paddocks as always are a little bit...
