Yep Just google ‘girl on Raleigh chopper’ Remember to include ‘raleigh’ or you end up with very different pictures!!!:D...

Oh ok...I admit it:oops:

You don’t hang around!! Great progress, again! I put mine back together today. I’m calling it finished but I will do the wheels green when I get chance. Also got a few little odds and aids to paint and refit (side antenna mount thingy). Also need to make a plate to cover the holes in...

Great to see em as LR intended (well, used to intend!)

Some great progress going on! This is going to be a great vehicle when it’s finished! I would love a decent work space where I could crack on with my tinkering regardless of time, weather etc!!! That bumper looks just great - strong and discreet. I especially like the tapered ends and the...

Standard galv bumpers are cheap enough. Keep the winch and if you change your mind it’ll be there. Like you say, if you don’t need it, it’s just more weight to cart around. But yeah, they look cool:D

Thanks! I toyed with several options for colours - light stone and green, light stone and brown, green and brown....... I had to stick with green and black ultimately, as that is what I’ve always wanted since I was a kid!

I made a one piece snorkel from 3” stainless, salvaged from a milk tanker, and a mushroom top from eBay. If you have an exhaust place near you that make stainless exhausts, maybe they could help you out.... Getting the angle down the windscreen and along the wing was tricky as the screen is...

Got all the black areas done yesterday. It needs a second coat of both colours but it will have to wait till the rain goes away. Until then, I can do the bumper and other bits, make a plate for the rear door where a wheel carrier used to live... I’m erring towards hard edges between the...

That’s a nice looking back end:D

Doesn’t look too shabby! Should keep you entertained for a while!

Yeah I have been binge watching lately. Landy Lee put me back onto him....... Your moment of fame! I like the way he works - sometimes seemingly bumbling along sometimes pure genius.:D I too would cringe at all the salt they have to deal with!

Well I’ll go to the foot of our stairs!! I tried the wd40 cap in my paint can but it was a female can so the cap didn’t fit. I pulled the fan nozzle out of the paint can cap but the wd40 straw was too small. I then found a slightly bigger straw from a can of brake cleaner which fitted a treat...

Got some paint on the Ninety today. Was a bit too warm really and the paint dries a bit roller rashy and brush marky in places. It’s a million times better than it was though! The gaffer booked a last minute holiday last night and we leave tomorrow so no further progress for a week. Also ran...

HubNut is easily my fave you tuber. I love that he tinkers in the same way that many of us do. Yes, I’m definitely following his Croatia adventure! I didn’t even think he’d get started when the engine issue cropped up!

It’s amazing how nasty things get before they get better! I sometimes wonder why I started something in the first place!!

I’m using Matt NATO Green and Matt Black Arc Rite paint, roller and brush applied. I was going to go satin again but decided to try Matt as I’ve always loved the look of it! I have a couple of aerosols of each colour to soften the line between the colours and to get the bits not easily...

Started rubbing the Ninety down ready for its new coat. Going to remove some parts later and carry on sanding tomorrow. Paint should arrive at the end of this week.....along with the rain:mad:

You cold wait til it’s finished, then weigh the beast. Make a decision from there..... I have no personal experience btw. This is just info I’ve picked up watching overland preparation videos etc.... Seems a sensible theory to me..... I do have some experience of the air bags that fit inside the...

They may bottom out before the axle hits the bump stops but extended bump stops would prevent this. If the shocks have internal bump stops it probably wouldn’t be a problem anyway.... They will also allow the axle to droop further and so allowing the springs to become dislocated. Relocation...
