Nice one Johnny, enjoy

Glad its all come right in the end Johnny as it all come in to the budget you expected when you started even with the setbacks with your ingenuity I would reckon you have a motor you are proud of, and you know every nut and washer on her which is something a rangerover sport owner will never have the same satisfaction.

got on fine in the end they gave me the plates off the ringer and came round to stamp the chassis as it should be and signed the logbook in my name but took that with him as it had to go through his office as official proof or some **** like that
i got the green slip for the moment but it shouldnt be too long before it comes back

ive sort of got the willies a bit as im finally so close to being on the road again :5bwilly_nilly::5bwilly_nilly::5bwilly_nilly::5bwilly_nilly:

In feel like I've been through every nut and bolt, every up and down, every joy and disappointment with this refurb and it's such a pleasure to have come through it it all and ended up with a nice Landy back from the grave and ready for another 40 years use. Good on 'yer mate. (I have just spent the last 4 hours in the pub so this post could well be gibberish)

i got the original reg for the chassis as whoever sold it to me had swapped a series 2 and 3 body about to make a dodgy tax exempt series and then sold me what looks like a series 3 but to the points scheme its actually a series 2 hence the 1961 reg

So what's up ya sleeve for the next project eh eh???

Outstanding johnny ,super job,would definately make a good film!!"50 shades of ****"F`in brilliant.I missed the part where the council were calling back and you had to have her mobile,what happened?Outstanding finish enjoy her now!!Loved the rebore part outstanding never saw it done before,Thanks for the photos.I will be waiting for your next project....

ive already got designs on the front cover

im gonna make it look like a ****take haynes manual with a series tratter on the front


ps: got me wheel sorted today some wiring issues sorted and me tappets are finally right ( for a diesel it sounds like a purring cat ..........with bronchitis )
but growls like an angry housewife when yer floor it and not a wisp of any sound like a squirrel having a **** in a biscuit tin :smokin::smokin:
also got me washers working and aimed right after a little experiment

one of me washers is bearmach and the other is britpart and guess wich one wouldnt move to aim it yep they cant even make a bastid washer jet worth a fook

and the only smoke i had out of it today was the first 5 mins till it warmed up so i just guess it needs wellying down the lanes before its dreadded hour at the MOT station
