Highly recommend these guys. The plate looks great and was dispatched quickly. I messaged them to put the numbers on ( They are not stamped on but printed ) https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F392100893399

I take it you have children...... look in the VCR thats was my children’s favourite hiding place.

I like the look of the BFG AT’s and the new ones sound like a good all round tyre. Last winter I ended up snowed in so wanting to be able to get out this year. Knowing my luck it won’t snow.

It’s time to change my current boots as they have been on her since 2005 ! Current boots are Goodridge all terrain Probably going to change to the same ones just a modern version. Any one running with these and how were they in the snow ? I’m not going to be using them for off-roading.

Thank you ;-) For me attention to detail was important.For example the original internal chassis plate was totally faded so I had a new one made obviously the original is still tucked away in side but the new one is on display I think looks fab. I even had a key ring made with my vintage...

The original post explains. I first bought a 1971 series from a well known Northern series dealer. It was an un road worthy dangerous Lemon. After a very public fight with them they took it back rather than me suing them. I then bought my 65 2a which I love and carried out the restoration my...

Finally she is finished life planning issues relationships all got in the way. However I have now been enjoying her over the summer going out to festivals and shows with her. She is a joy to drive and a real head turner ;-) Some of the finished pictures.... Few weeks ago in the forest of dean...

Hi all, Any one based near Monmouth fancy helping me recover my series 2a. She has been being restored but due to unforeseen accident can't be finished off where she is and will need to move her asap. I have a trailer but nothing to pull it. I am happy to cover costs and lunch and banter and...

She is looking great and the only thing that is keeping me sane at the moment that and the medication I got from the Dr's today first time in weeks I have been pain free. If any one has any spare wing to bulkhead arms they would care to donate I would be much appreciated as replacing parts that...

Its been a bit of a **** week. Went down to work on my series as the guy who was doing most of the work has hospitalised himself with 55% burns ;-( So need to get the old girl in one piece to get her out of his work shop as it probably won't be his for much longer as he will be in hospital for 6...

We are going to take our time as have some help and trailer it home.

This last year we have been restoring my series 2a she is currently in Devon 75% done. However the fella that was doing the work for me and with me has had a very serious accident with a can of thinners and a fire and is now in hospital with 55% burns. He was airlifted to hospital and will not...

I need to re fit the glass in to the front screen of a series 2a what have you used in the past to stick it in ? I bought some thing from Amazon called window-weld ribbon sealer but stupidly did not look where it was being sent from ;-( America and its still not arrived a month later. I can't...

Santa came today and dropped of new cork gaskets for the wiper motor new wiper motor seal escutcheons wiper motor parks which are laser cut from 2mm thick stainless and new wiper motor seals ;-) All these small thing sure do add up. [/URL]

Will do thank you ;-) The original ones were rusted to death those came of a defender and I galvanised them.

Things have yet again taken a back burner but the last two days have been productive. Side panels and roof fitted both with new with new seals front screen fitted. Lucas wiper motors cleaned up ( need to change the gaskets ) Sills fitted and sill panels and new wiring loom going in so all in all...

I will probably send it away to be professional restored subject to funds !!

It is a sweet colour She is coming on well the rivet counters might not approve but I have decided to go metric on nuts and bolts and screws that was my only concession. Its been a slow few weeks with other commitments taking precedence. Lots pf mundane jobs rubbing down peddles steering wheel...

What better way to spend a few hrs on a sunny Saturday afternoon fitting the bulkhead back on to the old girl. Starting to look like a series again. This week the engine was taken out to be cleaned up and painted. Removal allowed for the front chassis to be painted properly then wax oiled.

Started banging in the dome rivets today finished the paint on the bulk head and finishing off the bonnet. New reflectors arrived and working out the correct position to put the back on. Dome rivets look great. Before Bonnets come out well. We are going to put the rivets back in but leave...
