I will point out now... that is the effect of drink driving... we'd all had a lot to drink before going off-roading and for some reason i'd thought i'd try the drop...

Did you make it out? look like quite deep ruts!

I also notice you have your washer jets on your wipers rather than fixed... does it make much difference?

After a couple of attempts, yes.

Washers on the wipers work well, sprays just in front of the blades.
 
Ha, i bet you got a wet backside in that last one!

Might have to have a play with the washers at some point then. Best do the engine first though... priorities and all that.

1972 Series III 88" - 2.25 Petrol

When I bought it on a cold January day:

DSC00990.jpg

Had sat for 10 years on a driveway, did a ground-up rebuild (see here for a slightly incomplete build log) and ended up with this:

297320_10150343083983706_744058705_7979500_434805111_n.jpg

London to Brighton Land Rover Run 2011.

Sadly that day was the last time I drove it, really don't get enough time. But I couldn't bear to sell it :(

It's got a few mods to make life nicer. Defender seats, mirrors and heater unit. Parabolics all round, post-1980 TLS brake setup.

Needs some more work, got to line up the bodywork a bit better and the overdrive/gearbox needs attention. Then I need to get on with my EFI project, change the wheels/tyres, etc. etc. etc.
