Hi Ian
Nice Landy and very nice fabrication. If your ever need a hand give me a shout, I'm only up the road a bit. You can teach me how to weld while your at it.

Thanks, appreciate the comment
Cheers, I might take you up on that. I could teach you what I know in two mins, get yourself a cheap welder a bottle of gas and scrap steel and go for it. I love welding and fabricating now, starting to make a set of rock sliders then plan to attempt front bumper then rear step.Hi Ian

Great work mate.
What sort of paint are you using? For the grey seat box and the black axles etc. Are they brushed or sprayed?
Both look nice and hardy and shiny!

Thanks for the comment, its sprayed and both 2pack. The grey is colour match to the landy code which is spot on, just need to buff the old paint to bring it back to its true colour.
A few more pics.....
I was off all last week and decided to buy this to let me carry on while it rained nearly every day. Just as well or nowt would have got done, have to say it was worth every penny. I got a lot further on that I had expected, I now have a runner!!!!. All electrics are done and working and seats are back in. New brakes all round and new wheel bearings in rear driver side. All other bearings removed, cleaned and regreased. New rear brake shoes and front pads in also. So looking forward to driving it, hopefully by next weekend I'll be taking it for it first spin around the block.
