Hey all, I'm just here to share knowledge and advice (more take than give I'm afraid) as I start to rebuild my SWB to use after leaving her for a decade in the barn whilst I went of galavanting in MOD Wolf's.

She's not being "restored" everything I can upgrade or mod will be (to make her more useful, I'm not a boy racer there will be no vents, double exhausts etc don't worry) first things to go we're the lights and battery...so hello and I look forward to finding out what you've all done to make the poor old girls more tolerable
 
Welcome Snuffles.

The more you take ; the more you have to give ;)
What you learn today will help others tomorrow if you document it with pictures as you go. I initially joined for help as I knew very little about my vehicle. I got so much help and understanding off here my Landy is good so stayed to help others. That’s why I always take time for the new members :)
 
Welcome :)

Once it’s done you will just about tolerate it, but love it too:)

Plenty of help for your journey here.

Hey, thanks for both your messages. I already love her, done the whole off roading since 14 on the AWDC events in her as standard, now it's time I showed her a bit of love and made her usable again, she just obtained grandma rights too (not that I'm entirely convinced in the logic of a 40 year old vehicle being MoT exempt) but I'm not going to complain
 
Pics of your project will go down well:)

MOT exemptions don’t mean you can’t do it for your own peace of mind.

I'm gonna get her MoTd don't worry, I am glad she's tax exempt though. I just like to have a dig at HMG for their ridiculous rationale. To be fair though, a series three will never be pedestrian safe and it's unlikely to win any environment friendly awards either lol

Put a sign up “pedestrians please don’t step in front of me”. Oh that’s already done your driving on the road:D they walk on the path.
Loads of peeps delete the emission controls on here (agree or not:rolleyes:) so you won’t be any worse.

I did run her on a litre bottle of cheap vodka from the cupboard when I was 16 =zero emissions. Unfortunately for now it's still more expensive than unleaded.
