Exactly what I did for my OH. The bruising is slowly getting better....

Nice work so far. You won't go wrong with Milwaukee.

What a plonker. I mean why on earth did I think I could do that on my own. I mean yes, the roof is easy to pick up on your own, but getting it off was a whole different ball game. A quick phone call saw a willing volunteer arrive in minutes and the roof was off! Next up was the rear panels...

Got in late so; Remaining bolts removed this evening. Gave them a good soak in penetrating oil last night so they didn't put up too much of a fight. Tomorrow evening, I intend to lift the roof and get the rear stripped off.

If nothing else this thread has entertainment value.

Finally finished Noel's temporary 'workshop'. Removed the doors and safari roof (left sitting in place for the moment), heading removed. The main roof is just about ready to come off, just 4 bolts temporarily holding it on. Hopefully this week will see the rest of the rear body come off and...

Yep, a resto will cost you a lot of money. I originally thought 6k would be enough for Noel. Ive pretty much done that on the chassis and bulkhead alone. Don't even consider one if you have very limited funds.

South Kent. I've been out of touch with landrovers for a few years, the spare parts place I used to use no longer exists. Shame as they were very good and supplied bearmach gear.

How long has it been in Norway? Given the amount of salt on the roads it will be rotten. I've holidayed in Norway for the last 12 years and any car that is remotely old is rotten.

What about doing a chassis and bulkhead change on a land rover you bought blind having no experience of doing either? Stupid? Crazy? Mad? Or maybe, just maybe, so passionate about the green oval you just have to do it to get another one back on the road? My advice to the op is as long as it's...

Thanks for the answers. Very helpful and much appreciated. Shirl

Am I correct in thinking that a manufacturer that sounds like British Parts is to be avoided?

As the title really, where do you all get your spare parts from and is there an exploded diagram that lists all the correct part numbers? I'm sorry if this has been asked a thousand times, but we were all new here once.:( Ps, I do use the search function :D

From experience, BOAT is an acronym of bring out another thousand£:D

Been there, done that :mad::D:eek:

It's funny, it's the big stuff that's daunting. The fiddly stuff is where the fun comes in. Hours studying the best way of doing it then applied logic to make it happen. I'm a carpenter by trade and love the challenge of awkward jobs. It's it's easy it's boring. Shirl

Totally get where you are coming from. Especially with abandoned projects. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I'm too bloody stubborn to be defeated. I'd rather spend a fortune to prove I can do something rather than give up! A fool and his money springs to mind:D I've no kids to spend upon, so Noel...

Also, just realized that the emojis I've been using are not compatible with this platform.:D:rolleyes:

Hi @nickjaxe Not annoyed me at all This seems to be a problem with forums, especially new people. You can not see facial expressions to judge their reactions. I'm quite lucky in that I've got the cash to do it right, I want to do it on my own (with guidance from landyzone members) and as a...

Richards chassis ordered. It's a 5 month lead time for an Owen bulk head. Are they worth waiting for Vs other manufacturers? I only want to be doing this once!
