Think the roof is original?

Punto443 · Oct 11, 2020

First landy, a 110, a 92 think it was a 200tdi no idea what version?

Now it's a csw, from what I've found out it's got

3.5slt perkins/mazda engine
Zf autobox
Galvy chassis
Puma bulkhead and dash
Puma front and rear doors
X-xng hand brake
Winch and bumper
Fuel fired heater thing
Fibre glass headlining
Half a shed of spares!

I think most of that is good?

Bonnets fooked, B/C pillars and sills are knackered, 2nd row doors scrap and the tub is too, none of the gauges work except the speedo

But, I'm game for a laugh, canny be any rustier than a transit!

A bit of stripping down and some new parts, some bargains (new tub), some seemed better new, 2nd row doors and complete sills/pillars

I have a few buddies the Lothians, mostly hot rod related, There not to happy im dipping a toe into Land rovers LOL.. I cant see the difference, old ladder chassis, solid axles, wheezy old engines, crash boxes, loads of scope for modification and lots of rust .. seems like a natural progression

Well, got a wee bit more done, heard red ones go faster

,
And got caught out when the alternators not charging, had to push that sucker back into the workshop after painting!

Punto443 · Oct 28, 2020

Bit more paint, and managed the notorious windscreen without breaking it

Awesome

Roof back on last night and a door too,
Still can't work out why there is nowt from the alternator?

Punto443 · Nov 3, 2020

Little by little it's going back together, got hold of a new ish rear chassis loom too, to sort out the rear electrics, I hope!

Wow, that's great progress.

Re' alternator, they're easy to fault find...it's normally 1. messed about with wiring by PO's, 2. voltage regulator and/or connectors, 3. if really knackered, the windings. For peace of mind renew the wiring, then if still not charging buy a new unit...they're not expensive.

Cheers,
Tbh, I'm not really fussed by the alt the now, not sure if I'm even keeping the engine that's in it or maybe going td5 or 300?

I picked up a puma chassis wiring loom and roof loom, so that should sort the body electric, after that it's just the instruments and engine electrics.

Few more bits done, some work on the rear seats and got all the lights working.

Spoke to a guy about getting the controller to work all the puma gauges too, sounds promising.

Punto443 · Dec 1, 2020

so a wee update, floors are in, fitted a transit alt with the vac pump on the rear, all seems to be working as it should.

after speaking to a guy regarding the puma gauges, ive gone and ordered the system controller to run the gauges and other systems, it converts the old type electrical inputs to can. you can get one just for the gauges or the one i went for does the gauges, A/C, cooling fan and glow plug relay as well.

other than that, im just collecting parts for the christmas holidays, when i might actually get some time to do some work to it!

Punto443 · Dec 5, 2020

Got a bit side tracked from the important jobs today and messed about making some hatch doors, one side will be a locker, and the other just a big hatch for those rainy day when your sitting in the back

Punto443 · Dec 6, 2020

Now painted black

Punto443 · Dec 12, 2020

Picked up a bargain engine and box tonight
