What have you done to your Landie today.

passed the mot today don't have anything to compare it to but the emissions where really low and it's running on about 30% fresh veg oil with 100ml of mineral 2 stoke to quarter tank. did get a comment of 'nice smelling diesel' from one of the other mechanics lol

made some homemade bonnet pins from stainless bar, big washers and lynch pins as the rubbish from ebay was baaaaaaaaaaad

Last time I welded in rain, under a tarp, all was going well ..

When I woke up outside the tarp some while later I thought it best to give in .. though that could easily have also been the extension lead .. but I just don't do it now!

The grinder let some smoke out the other day but it's still working, so again, I ain't gonna chance it.

I should add mines a small shipyard welder none of this fancy inverter bull**** just a big oil filled box of iron and copper

But I'd bet it was the extension lead not the welder

how do you know it came from a small shipyard?

Eventually got it insured, with A-Plan, and not a bad price, £236 compared to Swintons £600+. Just have to get it on the road now

Heheheh, yeah almost certainly the lead, but as I need the extension to use the welder ...

I run mine straight off a 32A plug welders got a 6.5m cable on it then the leads are huge!

You should go old school

That'd sort it nicely ..

Drove it, love it, waiting for the rain to stop need to change the drivers door lock using info from Landyzone. They reckon 1 - 1.5 hour, I reckon a bit longer being my first attempt.

I kicked out the dammed neighbours cat that has been living in there. their is more cat fur on my drivers seat than on the dammed cat

Got a decent amount done today..... cam belt n tensioners changed... so much simpler with a removeable flip front lol...

Spent an hour with my mates hideously expensive steam cleaner. The engine bay looks lovely it's brought the wheels up well too. Gearbox and transfer box is much better but could have done with the Landy in the air really. Might have to borrow it again when I have a ramp.

Recovered my mate Krams300 (Mark) from where he left his truck up Whaddon the other day and changed a UJ on my front prop as it was on the way out.

Drove it 340 miles.....well.....half of that was yesterday so doesn't count

Did a bit more footwell prepping ..

But got my scrapheap challenge (Bitsa) on the road, still a work in progress but its now my vehicle of choice

Renewed my tax on the V8 earlier!






























For the fecking extortionate sum of 40 seconds of my life and £0
