Loolks good :) is it for your business or just a general tool to have round?

Got the wheels back on and the new shocks fitted tonight. My free Wheeling hubs have been on borrowed time for a while so as the drivers side one is a bit buggered I'm going to swap for standard drive flanges. Always had them engaged anyway so won't feel a difference but less stuff to go wrong...

Right then, more progress done today and im a bit ahead of schedule. Managed to singlehandedly refit the axle which was a faff as the passengers side had been shoved back but with use of a bottle jack, prybars and screwdrivers managed to get it all lined up nicely and fitted. All looks square...

Finally with help from my Dad the new dumbirons were fitted. Used a bit of angle with 4 holes drilled through to replicate the bumper and rested the spring hangers on axle stands with blocks on top to give me the exact measurements I needed to get it spot on. Also clamped a bar to the front...

"Remote starter switch" You mean a screwdriver across the terminals :D

Isnt there a hole in the grill panel to allow you to turn the engine over with an extension and ratchet (Similar to the old series starting handle hole)? Remember seeing the hole in my brothers 90 but not sure what it was for and assumed it was that

Nice project you have there :) Going for originality or a few upgrades?

Progress has resumed! My gauges came from America this week so I set about fitting them. I cut the vinyl cover out with a stanley knife (I still have it so can always reuse it later if i want to. I discovered that although they were a perfect fit in the holes, they wouldnt sit right due to...

About £50in scrap value at a big push

Buy an issue of classic land rover and look in the ad pages for one similar to yours

If you want I've got a load of pics of doing the swivels on a pdf I can send to you

Just bought some autometer gauges for voltmeter, water temp and oil pressure. Pricey but worth it. The plastic durite ones were £50 cheaper but they look cheap and nasty, these should look great in place

With three deluxe seats in the front its basically a bench seat so cant be too hard to rig up. however you would possibly have to have it easily removable to use the storage tubs beneath the seats and to check the gearbox and things under the middle seat. PS :pve your interior by the way! Its...

Right then more progress today, I took the damaged door and sill off Pic of the bulkhead damage, the outrigger isnt affected (its sort of bent above that) Also fitted some new stuff today, my filler plate from rocky mountain for the transfer box I do have the dipstick to go with it...

Way I found out was that I could pull the pushrod out of the servo and wiggle it, on the servo i got to replace it (An old one) the pushrod seemed fixed in place and could only go straight forward whereas mine was pressing against the wrong bit of the master cylinder. Pain was the binding brakes...

Check the pushrod in the servo, mine wasnt working very well either getting no servo affect and also getting brakes binding turned out the pushrod was faulty in the servo itself

It's only done it as the bumper got dragged back so much, the side I actually hit is actually quite good and may not need replacing, it's quite weird how it's done it and I'm not exactly sure how the opposite side got that damaged

Little more progress today, I dropped the front of the axle down giving me better access to the dumbirons. Doing a mesurement between front crossmember and end of dumbiron revealed that the one dumbiron has crumpled in by 20mm which has pushed the axle back on that side which is what sent my...

Drivers side springs are usually different to passenger side on vehicles with a side mounted tank to compensate for weight of driver + full tank of fuel so should sit higher on drivers side

Could have shorted it somewhere so its making a connection somewhere it shouldnt (Or alternatively something going to the wrong connection at the ignition switch). Sounds like you're always getting a positive feed through the ignition, Dash lights could be connected somehow to the brake light...
