What have you done to your Landie today.

Just replaced the manifold gaskets on right hand bank of my brown classic. Fingers have frozen lol.

Stripped down my n/s/f caliper and gave her some new pistons and seals , also replaced the brake fluid . gave me something to do . Got my radius bushes to do at some point but they can wait lol .

More wiring of the extra dashes and dials on my MUD Pod. Took bloomin' ages getting all the wires through the bulkhead.

Sold me 110 sides and windscreen surround, roofs a bit lower now

finally finished getting the new tube bumper dry fitted (need to get a mate with a more powerful mig welder to weld up the recovery eyes though), still got some grinding up of some of my welding to do as well before paint .
some of the latter bits are quite reasonable

before i tacked the recovery eyes on


after;
i think 20mm plate should be strong enough even for me

Nice!!

had some comments last time we went out (night run) that because my rear springs are a tad low compared with the front me headlights are a bit high.
well think when thats finished and bolted on should even the suspention back up probably wieghs half as much again from when i started "re-design" work on it

after my little bump on the plains that bent the stainless bumper and totalled me video camera needed to raise the ends to help approach angle.
if you look at the front on picy you can see the near side is a fraction higher than the o/s must have bent the chassis leg a fraction

Simple is always best That tubular one I had was similar to yours and probably weighed same as a std bumper.

just popped to paddocks to get polly bush kit and swivel pin kits. off in garage soon to finish stripping the old 2.5td

****ed the waterpump.....lol.

had it Waxoyl'd at Rustmaster!


Up on the jack after pressure washing!


Underside after pressure washing, before Waxoyl application.


Front of chassis after pressure washing, before Waxoyl application.


Applying cavity wax to inside of right wing.


Applying cavity wax to main chassis (hence the wax "mist" pouring out this end!).


Applying cavity wax to rear crossmember.


Applying hardwax to front of chassis.


Half way through applying hardwax to front of chassis.


First coat of hardwax almost done!


Almost completely done now.

Hopefully i'll get some better photos once it's all dried and under natural daylight!!

More photos can be found here: Land Rover Waxoyl Application at Rustmaster Photos (29 Dec 2010)

got my 90s 200tdi snapped cambelt done fitted new second hand 300 injection pump while i was there all back together till stripped a weak thread holding the rockers on arse and had to be the one right at the back time to get the helicoil kit out luck im not back to work till next week _

Fitted the dynamat hoodliner kit to the defender bonnet which turned up from ebay today.

Tidy job that Fishface...looks a nice motor too. Reasonable price??


I picked up a shedload of fireworks for a display tomorrow night in my 90.

Obviously the display is outside, not IN the 90....before some smartarse corrects my grammar..

I bought myself a set of the HBU472EB bulbs as recomended by Bucky and MHM. I was just about to fit em when I realised that my o/s headlamp has a crack in it. I rekon that I best buy myself a set of 'E' approved crystal clear headlamps to fit my new bulbs to.
