What have you done to your Landie today.

started stripping the paint off my spare Bulkhead. It's gonna be stripped, welded & then Galvanised.

Needs O/S footwell, N/S top corner and the Curved bits that the flaps fit into when closed. There is a chap on the estate who makes Morgan chassis Ammong other things. & He is gonna make any bits that need shaping or swaging

cleaned, painted and fitted my rear diff guard then made a rough a bar for my winch bumper but think that it isn't for a disco as it sits really low. I'm happy with where the winch tray sits as it is right between the front chassis legs and is about 8mm thick steel so definitely up to the job but the box section to make the sides of the bumper is level with the chassis and so is about 5 inches below the trims under the lights and indicators. whats the best way to sort this?

Drained the engine oil & cleaned up a couple of spots of corrosion, and primed in acid etch.

Got the swivel and brakes changed on one side and stripped down the other side.

Finished clearing up the rear of the 110 inside + prime and paint & sketched plans for my carpet fitment to go from the back door under the rear seats.

Also I finally managed to fix one of the bigger dents thats been bugging me loads, and struggled refitting one of the spats with those pesky push pin things

and its still not completely on, the new wing has slightly offset holes so I need to get the drill out, that can wait until tomorrrow.

I think Ill take my time on this as I hate the scratching away at old glue bit. Does anyone have any top tips? Should I borrow the other halfs hairdryer ??

Persil bio liquid is the most astonishing dissolver of glue and paint. In these temps, paint it on then cover with cling film for 24 hours.

I hit mine with a hammer. I now very much regret this.

I've got a seeping oil leak from the seal between the bell housing and engine block. Any ideas which seal may have gone and if so what do I have to do to stop the dam thing :/

I am a little concerned that its going to affect my clutch if that is going inside the bell housing

Yeah fraid so. Can't say bout the clutch but it's worthwhile changing it while the gearbox is off anyway

I just did the ruddy thing dam

defzilla · Jul 31, 2014

Finally completed 99.9% of sanding and priming and got rid of the dust coat, now I just have to go over any outstanding niggles and tidy those up ready for finishing.

Animal88 · Jul 31, 2014

fitted my winch bumper but not sure I'm entirely happy with how it sits really want it tucked up to the bottom of the trims under the headlights. I'll have to get a pick tomorrow and see what you guys think

landowner · Aug 1, 2014

Bad idea

They do site really far out and low! I moved mine up to the bottom of the lights n ditched the trims and shifted it back a fair bit.
