I only just noticed this post.... that sucks! Hope it was a good claim....I unfortunately cant claim because its just the way I am :( - think my work is going to pay me off because they arnt interested in taking me back in a different role or on amended duties. Mind if I ask how you afford to...

Sorry the pics are so small.... on GPRS internet again and it wouldnt upload them even scaled to 512kbs :(

Sorry if its been a while..... Johnny, nope no name yet lol.....hadnt even crossed my mind tbh - did you get the one you wanted yet ? Anyway, few bolts out and a few grinded off today :) was a good day - got the tub off :D And we recon the chassis is in good as new condition bar a quick lick...

lol @ cheeky. We ( Dad ) paid £206 on fleabay - a sneaky last 5 second bid and won ;) I dont have a clue what they are worth and Im sure a lot of folk get them cheaper ( especially sirus - Im sure he just spots one and tows it away before anyone notices lol ) We were happy with £200 tho, I...

lol, 4 axle stands in the middle either side ;) already had bad news this week from the consultant.... my knees are wrecked and my kneecap on one side dislocates randomly causing great pain....and the other ones on its way out as well :( - nevermind its all good fun lol Thanks for the advice...

Cheers johnny :) I was wrong the other day saying 4 bolts left..... there were 7 :( Got 3 out tonight..... took me about 90 mins! only 4 left.... and one is the one thats stuck however the tub bodywork where it is is severely corroded so I think it might just rip and leave the bolt in ( had...

unfortunatly because of where it is you cant get a decent swing of the hammer tho do this....also its either a captive nut or tapped into something the other side ( im guessing, the one next to it was anyway ) I might try the dremel for many many hours of slow grinding tomorrow after the docs...

had a busy couple hours tonight, got all but 5 bolts off the back tub ready to lift it off..... typically one of the stuck ones is the one under the arch by the petrol tank where you cant get at with a grinder :(:(:( - doesnt help ours has sank that side - a bit of the chassis under there is as...

You have a mk2 SRI :D:D:D:D Im a big big VX fan lol As for the galvy bulkhead, I am reading a lot about them warping because obviously they arnt the thickest of metal and the heat required for the galvy process is just too great.....my dad tells me that they think they have sussed out a cold...

cheers landycommander :) Inverness? thats nae far awa :D dont have the space....and to be honest this is really my dads project and I dont have space so its there until we build up by them ( tho I think I will end up doing more than him as Im very easily obsessed.... ) Really enjoying it ( so...

I was under the impression you could buy a new bulkhead but its looking more and more unlikely :( I also read something about a td5 bulkhead but it was a LOT of work. Can they be repaired even in a state like this ? I spoke to richards chassis and he said he knew a firm that restored them, but I...

One other thing, I see you have hand painted the door frame with primer. Are you intending painting the panels with primer by hand also? Then the colour by hand or spray? I have painted car parts before.....however nothing like a landy. The method I used ( not including all the sanding and prep...

Thanks mseries3 :)

What is this tool called? I have never seen anything like it!

Nice thread, I will be watching ( and looking for tips ;) ) keep it up :) Bert

lol have no fear brnocz, all the bolts are going to be changed for marine quality stainless ones :) Most are past it anyway, or someone else has removed and never replaced so might as well do it right :)

Well only got an hour or so playing with her today, got the roof off tho :) Only grinded off 3 bolts as well! ( 2 were because I couldnt be bothered turning the spanner and the grinder was in my hand lmao ) and 2 sheared.....strangely both rear corner ones.... she REALLY bends in the...
