Land rover 90 Restoration

I thought i would share my ongoing restoration project on my Land rover 90.
The goal was to have a nice chassis result whilst keeping as many parts original. Here are most of the pictures, to see all of them, i created a slideshow on youtube which you can view here:

Here highlighted are the rotten parts of the chassis:




























LHS front hub. All 5 bolts overtightened, 1 came out, 4 broke.

Great work looks ace [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji41]

How did you put your rear x-member on without the body on? Did you build a jig?

Well done chap, looking good. How long has it taken you to do?
How did you find the wiring of it?

Wiring is ongoing, but about 2 days

measurements... lots... and lots.. of measurements.

Thanks for the reply!

Wiring is guesswork. and it's been ongoing for about 4 months now. I would also just like to mention i am 14 years old, so probably the youngest person to do a landy restoration. But, correct me if I'm wrong.

Beat me, I started mine at 16



If you need some inspiration, here's a video of mine:

lol.......Im 54 and **** scared of giving it a go, well done young man

i saw your youtube videos!

It easy really, big chunks of metal coming off the car. Just remember to have a Haynes manual handy and take photos of wires as they get unplugged.

The sense of achievement when you finish it is massive. It puts a smile on my face every time I drive it just knowing that I built it. Not all my friends like it but I wouldn't have any other car.

i just have to say you did an amazing job yourself, i'm getting the body done for me, cos i got dust on the chassis in certain areas when the paint was drying

I have exactly the same feeling here, just knowing i got the engine running after having to push it around for 3 months haha.
My friends think that i could have bought something better, but in my mind, i will have the last laugh when it comes to bad weather like snow, i will have much less maintenance, and most of all it will have contributed directly to my education

I wouldn't say that is strictly true

How much have you done on yours over the time you have had it?

I've only been driving it for about 2 months. Took me 18 months to build it

wow.. well good job, looks amazing!

Looking great so far. It's always good to see an early 90 or 110 rebuilt and not messed about. Wiring isn't particularly difficult, but takes time to do properly. Make sure to use the right colours to make future fault-finding simpler. Looking forward to seeing this finished
