Looking good!

Its done !!! And Im also done in ! 12 hrs in the man cave, 1lt of etch primer, 2 lts of high build primer, 3 sheets or 80 120 and 400 grit block sanding pads and two bottles of Proper Job IPA and the tub is finally ready for top coat.

It’s got a cataract too!

Change the way I sleep in the rear so I don’t have to remove the roof. As normal take measurement and find the sides Chanel’s stick out so needed a trim back. Now sheet sits on the arches and spare wheel goes underneath. Tidy & level later...

Bish bosh, bit of welding to the bulkhead. I've been looking at the little rusty patch for a couple of years, this week it turned into a little hole. Excuse the ugly welding, but it's solid. The black is primer, a bit more sanding and a coat...

Had twin ally boxes in the rear, I also had a lower tub box before I fitted the cage & truck cab. The box opened upwards so couldnt open it with the dogs in. I made a lower tub drawer system. Open the back door & it was caged so dogs couldnt get...

Did @bankz5152 do some underseat conversions?? What about full slide out draw under the dog?

How about one of those alloy tool box's you see behind the cab in pickup trucks.

Hi and welcome!

When I e-mailed Allisport about the VGT turbo they said they were waiting on Stock which would be around 3 weeks, so I put myself down to be informed when they were available. Then Exmoor trim were doing the Defeater barrier mat system with...

This^^. I am in exactly the same position and could not have put it better myself. 200tdi 110 has been my daily drive since I was 18, I do about 30k miles a year, and the wife's car just feels terrible to drive. they are perfectly capable of...

New starter fitted. As expected, it didn’t go without issue as it is a landy! One of the turbo studs sheared, needing drilling and tapping. The mechanic said a few choice words, which I won’t repeat! And a couple of extra earths were added. But...

Hi and welcome!

Righ hand side of tub skimmed with fine filler and block sanded to smooth out any small dents

Ordered a tidy looking old wanner off eBay. Thank you 👍🏻

Out of interest, which specialist did you use?

Got one already. I’m adding another from engine to chassis. 😁

I use JC4x4 near Thornbury.

Tub underside all finished, etch primed and then undersealed with gravitex stone guard, ready for primer and paint. Will start on the outside next flattern then fill and block sand.

MOT Yesterday Passed! No advisories 😃😃

Cheers for the warm welcome, a fews pics with just a bit of ankle on show

Hi and welcome! Nice disco. Good luck with the insurance. I remember the high cost of insuring my series 3 when I was 17 (over 30 years ago now…)

Hi and welcome! Don’t forget some pics of the Landy…

Hi and welcome! Fantastic looking Landy! Always good to see an early one and better still that it hasn’t been shipped to the States!

Well, I'm nearly 66 years of age and I had thought I'd got all this out of me and I could live a normal life. For nearly 20 years I've been addiction free and taking it 1 day at a time, every day has been another 1 day away from addiction. But...

Chinese imports by European and UK brand at European prices just more profit and to hell with the quality as the Chinese cut the corners for the same reasons greed is rife and we are the mugs paying for it

What did I do today? Well started off investigating a headlight earth issue, found the connection at fault and now I have 2 fully working headlights on the 110! Then I binned the points/condenser and put in an electronic ignition kit, with a...

3hammers & a gas hammer… Best tools in you box

Drop arm ball joint replaced, bit of a ball ache (get it 🫣), but got there in the end! The atb diff helped mask the problem a little, but it got to the point where it was getting silly! Back to cornering on rails!

Some pics of the re positioned Track rod protector thing. I could lose the washers and make a proper Alloy spacer plate, or, I could have just thrown it all in the bin... You Decide... I also have fitted a cheap Alternator triggered Tacho...
