Cheers. She is a good one, I’d actually love to keep and make her pristine but I’ve already the other build

Cheers Phil. Yes the other won’t go anywhere. I’m not getting the time to shooting anyway which is what this was destined for and will borrow mrs pick-up when I need. Yes - love the older land rovers and would like it to go to someone who will keep going with it. Would even make a great camper...

Hi all, this is now in the for sales section. I’d like to keep it but I want a dream daily and can’t justify keeping this and my other one. You can see I’ve addressed all the D1 issues - I’d really like one of you to buy it so it doesn’t end up being ragged around a quarry!

Hi all, I’m a long standing member on here and have tidied up a D1 commercial over the past year or so with decent money spent. I now wish to buy my dream daily as not doing mad miles anymore and can’t justify two landies. If you know d1s you will know they rust. This one has been repaired to...

Hi Russell, I’m going to list mine as going to sell up to get my dream car. It’s manual and high mileage but has had a lot of attention in the last year! 12 months mot too

Been under a pig today 😂 Yes she’s had all the boot floor etc done but this was some time ago now. I’ve found a little bit of chassis by the fuel cradle bracket that I’ll chop out at some point. First pressure washed, then snow foam and citrus wash, then around the whole this with brush and a...

You can see the metal liners here easily

Just thought, the original bushes in your bars are probably metalistic - I.e. there will be a metal bushing in your bush hole that needs to come out. I’m sure there’s a cleaner way but I slit this with hacksaw blade then carefully chisel out. Radius arm bushes are same and you’ll see someone...

😂 the lengths we go to. I managed to get a stubby on my defender one. My disco one wouldn’t allow it though!! I just slit it and wack round with a chisel - was much easier! Powerflex are good - bought them for my project and will be installing soon. Can’t remember if in two parts though...

More progress (week off!). The inside sill is going to get a fish plate over the joint as it’s right next to the mount. Starting to come together and look new

Just walked her mot 😎

Thank you sir 👍🏻

Offside had been repaired but only finished in primer. The result was it was rusty and the repair around the bottom wasn’t too nice most of it was usable. I cut out what I didn’t like which also gave me access to epoxy the mount area. Lots of messing about to get the arch/boot/side pieces how I...

Here’s what I cut out the nearside rear

That’s good news. Shout up before you think of selling! Especially as I wouldn’t let anyone else buy it other than me 😂 If you get stuck with it also shout. My progress has been a bit slow but getting back into it now!
