Tinkering with my Vogue

Dunno how Fred and Barney managed it but that's a heavy bugger to paddle around. That said I bet all the tyres are flat again eh stu

Only one is flat. Still need to retrieve the compressor.

Joules I think I was in front of you other morning some moron missed the road closed sign at Dagnall and went around the roundabout in front of a nice shiny 110!

Couldn't be me, mined filthy 😁

Quite likely, though I have gone through Gaddesden and over the beacon twice this week

You must have a secret polishing mop!!

Next comp is mid month who is going?

Hopefully, got nicely replaced door pillar now. Just need to create a new rear exhaust bracket as it's rested away

Broken bracket, simple fab I think if I had some bits

Sweet!!

Stu I bet driving Lees 90 felt huge to drive about vs the series 1!

I not a member of CVLRC yet...... But 90 needs a new rear propshaft, 300 tdi is longer oops!! front diff and ends swap roof rack off and odds n soda will be at Brickhill taking part in December.

With stu's help I can drive through the garage with mms to spare

Just a bracket don't loose the fixing dingocroft all parts genuine cost Neely £60! Rubber spacers nuts bolts and side plates!

No the hanger assembly is new just like the s11 back box. However I also need to bend the pipe a bit to get it away from the wheel so the 7.50s ultimatly can go on.

Where the hanger fit on the tailpipe required a heath robinson extension bracket from the chassis to fit.

probably come out by 6cm and drop by 4cm. the photos are of where the top of the rubber is after I have forced the tailpipe back.

Originally it was a piece of bent steel which has finally fatigued/rusted away at the fold.

Bring it up will concoct something

Tinker Time op2:

Thought I would crack on with the fuel tank today, had to figure out how to hold the tank while figuring out the brackets.



Found out that the front bracket was snagging on the tank, so I cut it off :cool2:



Time to test the wax coating I bought



Says spray on with airless sprayer, but goes on well with a brush



So tank in, belly plate on, now to figure out what I have got to make something with. Any Ideas welcome



Cant leave it like this



Pondering over that I decided to do the oil on the gearbox and transfer box and change the breathers so I can bolt the floor back down



That done I made the clutch pipe up before I filled the engine bay with all of the bits.





Just need to fix it to the bulkhead, slow but sure progress.

Helping Killajoules get his 88" home tomorrow then hopefully back on the Rangy :crazy_driver:

Between recovering Killajoules's latest member of the family (SWAMBO's 88) we found some time, after lunch to try and put the ancillary bit's onto the V8.





Trying to fit parts from two engines isn't working. And there will only be one alternator but which we don't know





After some head scratching we called it a day as we had to decapitate the 88 and put it away

Went to collect the winnings from eBay, 2 front wings 2 front doors a rear door and set of gas struts, didn't want the change from my tenner get the other door and rear wings if the buyer is a no show.

Bit more head scratching and decided to strip the remaining engine ancillaries off the V8 from the se. Just need a new power steering hose made up now and that's another job ticked off the list.

Hi Stu... just wondering if the Range you were breaking is still about ? I'm looking for a brake booster unit for mine.

Cheers.

Thanks Stu... Mines a 92. Don't have any spares of that nature myself... but will be seeing a fella on Friday who might ? Will ask him.

Ok cheers.

I have a 91 on the Rangy. I will compare it to my spare ones and see if they are the same. Would you want it sent or pick it up?
