Drivers wing off once again! 😖 I wasn’t happy with the gap at the bottom where it meets the sill. 3hrs later and I’m a happy man once again.

Right wing fitted for the third time as I wasn’t happy with the alignment. All air ducting fitted with new vent covers and genuine aerial. Bonnet stay fitted along with the bonnet opener cable and catch

Weekend Landy repairs report, drivers seat base repaired, well it was heated up sprayed with wd40 and wiggled free! Cleaned up and painted. Centre seat stripped cleaned painted. Centre seat covers cleaned with warm water and carpet cleaner and hey presto its techno cloth!

Tomorrow evenings fettle… start the old girl up and get her up to a decent temperature, dump the water as there is currently no antifreeze in the system. Which should be easy as the right hand side wing isnt attached. Do some more turning of the steering wheel to test the recon power steer box...

Some small wins this evening, decided to order a genuine window outer waist seal as the reproduction one didnt even touch the glass. And guess what neither did the genuine one … hmmm right then I decided the only thing to do was to bend the steel section that the seal attaches to inward. A small...

I recon all my videos would be classed as adult content and age restricted, not because of my builders bum showing in most clips but of the constant cursing and swearing, although I could possibly get some sponsorship deals … forget snap on Im thinking more kronenburg or San Miguel

Well there’s a suggestion Youtube …. possibly with the next build? To be honest I have been inspired by Mike of Britanica Restorations but I haven’t got a yorkshire accent

What with my north wales accent, I’d expect not ! 😂

had the steering box back from Coventry power steering as I couldnt for the life of me get the input shaft to seal. Now fitted I can crack on… left wing now bolted on with re galv inner wheel arch.

those are not any kind of panels, these are mostly genuine panels with hours of bashing, fetteling and heating up and shrinking. The only new sections were the rear lamp panels and the front wing outers oh and new door skins. Most panels are readily available to buy, but I do have a budget to...

battery isolator concealed into the seat box, will save me having to disconnect the battery terminal when the landy is in storage.

Doors nearing completion, glass is back in with new regulators, new runners, locks and handles. There does seem to be a gap in the outer waist window seal though ?? Wonder if the cheaper ones aren’t as good as genuine LR? If I left them water would just run into the door again

Door check strap brackets cleaned painted and adorned with some shiny new arms and clevis pins.

Help! I’m slowly pulling all of my hair out with this one ! Need to try and find out why I cant get an input oil seal for my steering box. Britpart kit STC889 doesnt fit the oil seal outer is too big (32mm) What the hell have I got ? Is it possibly a disco 2 box? Shaft is 22mm the lower part of...

Todays fetteling consisted of fitting the seat box, handbrake and drivers floor. Passenger floor to follow once the cable grommets arrive for the battery cables. Decided to cover all the floor and doors in sound deadening, what a difference its made to the doors ! They dont sound likes some...

Even Ai couldn’t align doors using a rachet strap, some shims and a row of washers, especially only on one side ! 😂

Tell me now… why does every landy door I fit pull in at the bottom ? Its as if they are twisted??

Door hinges paint dried I spent the evening aligning the front doors, driver side went on perfectly but the passenger one was another story… after some gentle bulk head adjustment with a ratchet strap and rear tub lifting with a 4x2 were there !

Replacement pipe ordered today ! 😤

Next job …. Sort out that turbo oil pipe !
