Just managed to squeeze it into the back yard to commence work.
All old Landys should be named after their registration number, so what should mine be called??:doh:
As you can see, despite the suggestion of the reg plate, it is indeed very straight for an old Landy. Immediate jobs include overhauling the Weber carb- probably just a good clean, or maybe new internals- and fit a new rad.
Right. Now this is the only rusty bit of the chassis as the rear crossmember and other outriggers have been replaced recently and everything waxoyled. This one- the rear driver's side front spring mount- is snookered for the end 3" or so. I take it this is an MOT failure?? Now, as most of the rigger is sound - up to 3" from the end- can I get away with welding it up with plate after cutting out the bad and fabricating a new outrigger end to supprt the body work here?
