Hi Folks, here’s one of my infrequent updates 😂. Got a few bits done but was interrupted by holidays, work and Ill health, but here they are… I cleaned, painted and refitted the vertical angles as per Wagon Loons side windows. Makes sense now...

More minor jobs. The steering box has been removed and given a good clean. It had a sticky residue of ATF but no apparent leaks so a good clean up and it will go back on. The drop arm ball joint rubber had split so a new ball joint was fitted...

Well the shopping list is getting smaller and so is the bank balance 😂 only things to order is a exmoor trim canvas hood and a set of cool n vintage chestnut leather front seats and cubby box. But that will have to wait until a few more pay days

Sills bolted on, gearbox tunnel and gaiter in place, then took time out to do some retail therapy. Ordered a Heritage 1948 steering wheel and boss, heritage style grill, seat belts, wiper arms and aero blades, tailgate chains, Wipac LED light...

Wings fitted, along with the galv inner arches. New Green tint windscreen fitted and the vents with Stainless Steel pins from SP4x4.

Hi and welcome! Great Landy too! 😁

Looking at the rear chassis legs, it’ll be either a new rear half chassis or a full galvy chassis.

So far ive managed to get the 6 inch suspension lift kit fitted and the 35 inch tyres Ive also restored the headlights and fitted a winch bumper just waiting on the following parts to finish her off adjustable front panard rod adjustable watts...

Looks good. I think the wheels need a coat of white to finish them off. The black looks like primer to me. Just my opinion though. If you like the black wheels, not a problem. 😁

Painted the passenger front drive flange, fitted a new drivers side repeater light and fitted another immobiliser.

Moved it 10foot to open the rear flap for garden waste Miss driving it

And I've just done the same on the other side. So that's all the suspension bushes done, new springs and shocks, added to what I did about thrree weeks ago. I've not put pictures up because they would look just like yesterday's, only the other...

Put some Wolf copies on my son's Ninety.

I've made a start on the front suspension today. Things have come apart fairly easily: I'm painting Dinitrol on all the mating faces that you can't normally get at too, just to hold back the rust. And here it is going back together: The most...

I fitted longer studs all round. On the fronts, there is plenty of thread showing.

For what it's worth I went for longer studs as well

L R Center LRC2332 for a set of longer studs.

Usually the recommendation is the factory suspension. Other setups tend to be harder and bouncier. And the factory setup gives the best all around ride quality. It’s a tall 4x4 with a beam axle Suspension setup it is never going to compare with...

Have to say though they are rather heavy!

But then you dont have them acting like a bobble head in the rear view mirror. Where is your sense of fun!

Good idea tying them down. Mine moved so much on the journey home that I thought they’d exit through the back door!

Easy.

Hands up - I hardly ever reach for them when cutting/grinding (not that I do that much). I will now - so thanks for the reality check 👍

Glad you’re sorted, messing about with eyes not good, 3-4 weeks ago I was derusting a piece of steel to make a bracket for my vacuum bottle , I used brick acid (concentrated hydrocloric acid) , I wore my safety specs, cleaned up perfect in 2...

Just a note to say..... Watch your peepers!!.... I am 49 and have lived a long life and spent many hours grinding/welding etc......all self taught and whilst aware of the dangers of the spinning discs of woe, never really given a stuff as nowt...

My knee is getting there Slowly.... Don't get old!! It's not good. Don't want to do the box until I'm back to normal functionality.. I can't get any joy with the handbrake warning light, there's no power to the lamp everything downstream seems to...

If you want a look at the build I did heres the link its a different forum and tbh I picked it as they were menna be the guys but all they did was ignore me and answer nothing

Thanks alot mate I do appreciate that

Hi and welcome! The RRC looks fantastic! A very nice job!
