Cheers got a few runs that need to be sorted once it's gone off properly, but two guys who seen it outside today couldn't believe it was hand painted

The difference the sun makes on Keswick

Thanks greyhair it's nice to see it coming together and all the hard work paying off

Got a couple of hours while little one was sleeping to get some bits on ... chequered plating wing tops and rear corners , wheels , bonnet and front grill O yeah and Land Rover 90 Sticker

Hand painted Keswick green , very pleased with the result got a few runs which I will sand and repainted when fully dried , but overall very pleased

Yea thinking the same, as it struggles to start plums smoke once it starts that clears then ideals smoke free but smokes again at higher revs , so thinking its advanced ???? dumping to much fuel in so struggling to start then struggling to burn at higher revs

Like an old smokey landy Yea does smell like diesel, when it's cold it struggles to start then puffs diesel smoke which clears like you said normal do think it slight advanced ?

My 90 has got blue / white smoke at higher revs, is this just pump timing out slightly? It's fine on ideal and lower revs not to sure what it's like when it's properly up to temp as it's not on the road yet. It's also quite smokey on start up but clears after a few revs ! Any ideas ?

How cool is the bag the canvas comes in

I'm pretty much ready to paint !!! Plan is to paint Saturday then it has 2 days to go off properly in a dust free (ish) unit . Also got some of the dash back in a started retrimming the bottom section . And a very exciting delivery arrived from exmoor trim today full canvas & hood sticks...

Got some painting done today Also retrimmed the top part of the dash , didn't remove the old material just sanded down as it was in a bad way .... Still have to trim around some of the fixings points , but very pleased with the result. Just the lower part of the dash to do next.... I'm...

I love the idea of leaving it like that on the outside just making it all shiny and underneath

Anyone got any ideas on the smoke ?? Got the wings tops on today and more sanding, bonnets just temporarily on for alignment.

All sorted was the rear of the sump leaking , hence why it leaked when I filled it with oil , obviously really !! Land Rover always fear the worst But usually the simple answer

The more I look I think it's blue smoke

Also took the landy for the first drive in over 10 years today , there was some white smoke under acceleration, only at the top end of revs just as about to change gear nothing on idle or low revs Is this just pump timing ?

Today i sanded , sanded , sanded and a little primer :) Yes there are still dents it's just character o_O

New ignition switch fitted and glow plugs working. Also got sills , seatbox and floor fitted finger tight as need to do some alignment adjustments.

Got all the rear wiring re attached and working, who ever took the tub off just cut the wires at the chassis! Thanks lol Also sorted the leak from the power steering pipe and the one from flywheel housing / sump Luckily it was easier one just the sump needed re sealing. Only problem left with...

Yea sorry I didn't remove flywheel housing. I ran it up today and nothing coming out wading plug it definitely running down from rear sump area so will do sump first as it's easier.
