well seen as I have my landy finally I figure that I might aswell keep fellow landy folk updated with my work on my truck and hopefully share what I learn and get advice on anything as I do it.
As of yet there is very little to report that is my own work but here's a few pics of what the previous owner has done
as you can see it's already had all the rot removed and the panels replaced.
it has also had alot of the bushes replaced for orange polybushes. new teflon swivels have been fitted along with a TF steering damper and hd steering arms. so now she is pretty much ready for me to put my own touch on her.
she still has a couple of small problems like the rear door was scrubbing the plastic between the bumper and the door shut but i have now adjusted it so it closes nicely with no interference. the front passenger door had problems with the window jamming at funny angles and the outside handle rarely worked but i have fixed these by adjusting the handle and replacing the lower grip bar on the window. now the only problem on that door is the lock not always fully unlocking. is this what i have read about the door spring?
I need to replace the drivers door hinges as they are badly worn so I have to lift the door to get it to shut without the top corner hitting the b post then adjust the rear door handles so the doors open without having to snatch the exterior handle.
surprisingly the roof lining is all where it should be and the sunroofs don't leak but I think the rear roof windows need attention as i get a tiny dribble of water on the parcel blind if it's really wet out.
the only other thing it to then set about servicing her with a timing belt as I don't know when it was last done. but all my little fixes can wait for now as I am currently skint and she needs taxing.
only thing left to say is that I hope to meet up with you guys/girls out and about on the lanes and at the shows
