I’ve read something on this - bare with….

Few bits that I just can’t find despite boxing and bagging everything!! One being this, which I am begrudged to spend a tenner on 😳 The wiper motor metal bush on one side was also shot. Would mean buying a new one so just modified a spare shock bush that was in the box.

I’m already having fun with wiring and routing of the loom. I’ve got a good 30 pictures but not enough! Has anyone got any good pictures showing the main routing?

Cheers mate, looks a bit dusty in the picture but it’s actually pretty smart. I’ve filled every seam and joint with puraflex and that came before looks for me!! Also going to make a few cavity wax holes. Now comes the fun part, racking my brain, going through phone pictures, the box of Land...

Done!

Also, If I colour code it I’ll be able wanting mirror finish - won’t be able to help myself. Thinking the satin will draw the eye away from the bay and just look smart

No mate. I was going to, but, I saw a Japanese RRC restoration where all the inner was painted in satin and it looked the bollocks. Plus the satin is another layer of rust prevention. Do you think I’m making an error in doing so?

Next stop - scuff, degrease and satin black the lot.

Couldn’t work out why this primer felt like the gun was loosing its lungs half way through the tank despite 40psi present at the gun steadily. Then realised there was a vacuum being caused!! Took the little bung off the top and it worked lovely. That’s 2 coats epoxy done. Will get some pics once...

Going to have a final sand down tonight and a couple beers when the sweat box has cooled off a touch! You will always just itch to get paint on but kick yourself for rushing afterwards. Hopefully, should work allow, I’ll get a flyer in the afternoon and mix up some epoxy. FUN FACT - epoxy...

Don’t blame you for hating that wheel 😳 any pics of the new motor?

Think there’s two different spline types - definitely is on defender. You need to know your spline number.

Well the last engine bay weld is done as far as I can see. So far on the welding front: • new headlight boxes and headlight mounts • new inner wings • new a pillar panel fabricated • new front wing body mounts • bulkhead scuttle removed, cleaned, repaired and welded back into place • n/s a...

Let us know once you’ve had a rummage Kev 👍🏻

Collect clamps and magnets 😂. Yes - it’s like having another pair of hands sometimes. Very useful

Bulkhead joining face cleaned up, hydrate 80 and primer on top. Needs a bit of massaging with a hammer in the centre but fits nice and snug again

Thanks! I’ll speak to the locals and find out. Pretty sure I got both 1 and 3 phase too.

I’ll speak to the landlord and also see what the other people have on site
