Nonsense, it can be quite therapeutic, especially when you're faced with a 3600 wire telephone cable!

I thought the wiring was gonna be really bad on my rebuild and i dreaded the day when i had to sort it.

In the end it was actually very logical and mostly a game of elimination and referring to the wiring diagram every so often.

The most useful tool for me was a 12v light bulb screwdriver thingy with a crocodile clip as earth that is a remnant of my grandfathers tools from the 60's. As simple as that tool is, you'll be able to test all the switches, light,indicators etc etc with it.

The time it took was a long time, just plodded on methodically through it all.

On the A ........

Checked the oil, water and tyre pressures before going to the club tonight
My first attendance actually owning a Land Rover!!

Stripped a bit more today. Ordered/requested prices for some parts.

Work went slack so I made the most of it

Slow build up now so I can shim the doors/bulkhead

Ooh you re-furbed that bulkhead quickly .. and even changed the vents to no vents .. good work ..

Looks really good.

@Paul D
I have the old vents to stick back on so the looks don't change. Hate having a motor that looks newer.

I replaced the non locking cat flap handle for one with a lock in it

I added some tie downs too

Changed the injector seals discovered that the cam shaft seal is goosed and bodged the expansion tank return pipe with fuel line to make do for testing it cracked up first time

More part ordered & waiting for part of dash.

Parts arriving but in the wrong order.
Dash items do not look like the photos sent to new supplier.
Don't think he want the business

Paint a few items black ready for fitting.

Painted my back door, about time as i'd been driving it for months in bare galv.

Strip & replace the shut off cable
