Bit of blocking the wing after filler and primer before laying on more primer.

Another inspiration image. Arles/windjammer looks slightly lighter than this. Not even sure what colour this is but the RAL is close enough

I’ve never taken an inner wing back that far. I had to remove the welds on the bulkhead bar and slide the panel I’m remaking out. Took a lot of jimmying but I’m glad I did it that way. I’m a lot more patient and systematic now than I was few...

Nope - it was swearing at me in mandarin. Size of a recreational aircraft that thing!

A week of broken or faulty gauges. Forgot to take pics as I went but I’ve flatted back one door and one wing. This involved taking back several areas to bare metal due to corrosion. First faulty gauge - gun gauge wouldn’t read and my spare...

Go to a paint shop & look through the charts. You may find this is not a landrover colour

It’s not mine mate. It’s the colour I’d like to go with though

You thought this was some kind of Britain first post didn’t you!! Two questions: Could someone advise me on which colour this is please? Secondly, my primer is 3:1:1. My mixing cup has the numbers for paint and hardener but not thinner. On...

Looks a bit tidier now.

Looks great mate. It’s like a sister version of the dcpu isn’t it. Same feel

Enjoyable read. Was new head from turners? I’d really like a woodland. Have been thinking about it a couple years and have a young son who would benefit from it massively as would his mates! I’m fortunate to have a fair few shooting perms though...

Bit annoying. I’ve got to take the heater box out and the rest of the interior. The dash etc is the only bit I actually worry about putting back together! I chased the rust back to my repair on the other side. Needs a bit of fresh metal.

Old man emu 👍🏻😉

In one!!!

Drivers side just needs a clean I reckon….. All the rust sponge was wet again. Wing has been patched a couple times and started to lose its shape a bit! One of the Yrm panels in the kit marries up with the headlight box joint and a horizontal...

Morning all, I appreciate all your help and advice in both this and the other v8 thread. I was talking to the chap selling me the v8 (he’s a mate) and we both actually came to the decision that the d1 should remain 300tdi for a few points! I’m...

I keep all his plumbing, heating and gas working so we’ve become friends over the years. He’s genuinely looked after me with this one. Landrover specialist came down and serviced it as well as changed a few bits over like the injector loom and...

Hi, have you sorted out any seats yet ? I pretty sure I've got two from my son's old D2 kicking about (free to collect),let me know.

😂👍🏻

Thanks! Trying to get into it @kevstar but as always time is the struggle. Odd hour here n there! Drivers side is near on done!

Small amount more. Hopefully get a chance to clean up the battery carrier and get that welded in.

Keeping it. We’ve got a place in the mountains in Southern Spain. We’re driving down there in it for the summer.

Cheers, it’s had four new General Grabbers yesterday and flew through MOT today without a single advisory. Garage said emissions really low and chassis solid. Happy Days!

He wants me to install 2 new boilers in some of the farm houses and wants ‘mates’ rates. To be fair, we’re good friends and he knew I was after one.

Farmers don't give away bargains... There'll be a reason he sold it, you just need to find it.

Cheers!

That's lovely. Like new.
