You thought this was some kind of Britain first post didn’t you!!
Two questions:
Could someone advise me on which colour this is please?
Secondly, my primer is 3:1:1. My mixing cup has the numbers for paint and hardener but not thinner. On...
Enjoyable read. Was new head from turners? I’d really like a woodland. Have been thinking about it a couple years and have a young son who would benefit from it massively as would his mates! I’m fortunate to have a fair few shooting perms though...
Bit annoying. I’ve got to take the heater box out and the rest of the interior. The dash etc is the only bit I actually worry about putting back together!
I chased the rust back to my repair on the other side. Needs a bit of fresh metal.
Drivers side just needs a clean I reckon…..
All the rust sponge was wet again. Wing has been patched a couple times and started to lose its shape a bit! One of the Yrm panels in the kit marries up with the headlight box joint and a horizontal...
Morning all, I appreciate all your help and advice in both this and the other v8 thread. I was talking to the chap selling me the v8 (he’s a mate) and we both actually came to the decision that the d1 should remain 300tdi for a few points!
I’m...
I keep all his plumbing, heating and gas working so we’ve become friends over the years. He’s genuinely looked after me with this one. Landrover specialist came down and serviced it as well as changed a few bits over like the injector loom and...
Cheers, it’s had four new General Grabbers yesterday and flew through MOT today without a single advisory. Garage said emissions really low and chassis solid. Happy Days!
Tiny bit of the interior polishing I’ve been doing. Got one door card done. Added black panel and repaired the bin and painted that black too. Neely veneered insert in. Came out tidy and didn’t lose any of the texture. Also resprayed speaker...
Your time doing any education such as A levels was not and will not be wasted. You wouldnt be doing the degree without A levels..... the degree and A levels will cover you for the future, maybe 20 years later...
", I need to learn properly, and...
Also, my posts are trying to be helpful so hope I don’t come across patronising - don’t box yourself into a corner and look at something that would benefit you and a career in mech in the future.
I used to work part time at a Landy specialist for a “top up” and access to ramps and trade price parts. I had done mech at college but the only real experience I had was on previous cars I’d owned. I soon realised I knew jack **** compared to...
You can have a Rover V8 rebuilt to any specification you like. They were installed in TVRs with displacements of 5.0L and well over 300hp (I dont remember the numbers exactly). The standard carby 3.5 came as mild as 135hp, and 155 with EFI, or...
I have read about the odd slipped 3.5 liner but not so great it seems. Either way if I strip it all down it will get rebored for new rings so may aswell get linered which then sends me down the “should you rebore whilst here”.
Other option is...
