I took the back ones off today, 5 out of the 6 bolts undid. Bit of paint where they were and looks good. Didn't take a pic but the plan is to spend most of Saturday working on the beast and hopefully finish the brakes and even get the fuel tank in.

Hi mate,

Been on here a year and never knew you had a thread in the RRC side!! You shy old thing

May I say Sir outstanding effort!!! :clap2: Just read the whole thing.... while at work

I thought my disco was bad but the work you have carried out on this dwarfs my project!!! If your anything like me you must be itching to get back on the road now

Yes I would love to actually drive it on the road as since I bought it it has never been on the road. Big push to get it done but the engine is coming back out soon as the seals have gone with all the work and having been stood for year's, but I have solved the problem by buying another 3.5 efi currently working and on the road in a friends 90 trialer. Best of luck with yours and with cleaning the drive for the sale.

:lol:Yeah cheers!!!

I'll just get the pressure washer on it do the best I can.

Thanks mate, I'm pretty close now I think and I've got some holiday coming up pre house move so praying I can get it finished then

Also just a quick question. The workshop you currently have was full of some plastic blue drums before you cleared it. Does your boss use a lot of these? and do they have sealable lids?

Ye still got the drums. I'm not happy for them to be used as they are old and brittle now and had some fairly nasty stuff inside them. I have some lids if you just want them.

The boss told me to rigorously go over a trailer at work, take anything off that needed attention and list all the bits needed so they could be ordered before the weekend. This was the result

Think the bill is well into 4 figures

Me an Stu have been busy today, got the back axle back on with the genuine panhard rods.

We got all the brake lines finished, even got the rear sat on wheels.

Then we finally pulled the drilled kockey sticks off the front as they are debatable regs.

Unfortunatly we found we needed new chassis end bushes, plus desoite having 2"+ front brake hoses the front shock travel was too long, so we decided it will need standard shocks.

jai_landrover · May 3, 2014

Coming along!!

It's like them smart cars every parts a different colour!!

Looking good tho!!

P.s just booked our camping spot for
Nats will be a nice run up at 50mph!

stutab · May 3, 2014

Joules summed it up well there. Couple more pics to add though.

And lunch

The back axle is now done all bar cable tying the brake hoses on, bleeding them and fitting the diff guard.

The front needs the radius arm bushes then that can go on, shorter dampers

and the breather pipe fitting oh and bleeding.

Both need oil as well.

Fooking hell this list is never ending.

jai_landrover · May 3, 2014

Do you need front radius arm bushes?? I usually have a set kicking about

stutab · May 3, 2014

Ooooooo please. They are the smaller type

jai_landrover · May 3, 2014

Ah early ones not sure I have them will look tho

stutab · May 3, 2014

Ye, tis a bastard, they changed them in I think 86 so my spare 88 is the wrong size as well

stutab · May 3, 2014

I have got one with the part number on it though.

But I left it at the workshop

jai_landrover · May 3, 2014

You could fit early 90 radius arms they're later rear bush bigger dia and has the narrower front bushes for your axle ??

jai_landrover · May 3, 2014

There is some argument that the older bushes have more flex tho but l think it's marginal

stutab · May 3, 2014

I need the smaller bush though

Yeah no worries. . I am looking to make a bio diesel plant in my new garage and I have access to steel drums but they do rust. The acid eats them away after a bit. But those blue plastic ones I think would work a treat... bit I the future but keepingan eagle eye out for stuff
