Put my name down. Really keen for this, i've set myself a date of getting the Landy back together for the 2nd so hopefully it's not before then. Realistically wont be able to get it done before.

Quite an easy one to do mate, best off doing it with someone to help you and just take your time. Easily get it done over a weekend. i would start plus gassing all the nuts and bolts soon as you can though. Boot floor spacers i haven't made yet, at the minute they aren't required because i...

Shows how much i know about CV joints :confused: so which is which then, this the ABS CV? The swivel housings do have filler, level and drain plugs which i did think was odd. Never new they had level and drain plugs as i thought they always ran on grease. Went for 3 degree castor...

Thanks lads. The lift isn't anything major just a 2inch suspension and a 2inch body. The mach 5s have changed the look the most i reckon, best of both in my eyes really strong and look decent :)

I meant the other stickers which were on it to be fair. The zombie ones were the only ones i kept :)

I bolted the mount on with the bushes etc. Then offered the sill up with a jack and tacked them in place. Unbolt the mount, take out the bushes, let off the jack then you need to wiggle out the sill with the mounts on so you weld it properly on a bench.

Great work mate! Who-ever thought of putting those plastic covers over the sills needs a swift boot in the knackers. I thought mine were bad but think yours win hands down, there's nothing left!

100x100 should be fine mate. I used 90x90 for mine but had to trim them down so you'll just have to do a bit more trimming :) Mine was only 3mm thick so i had to get some 2mm thick sheet, drill another hole and weld it on top of the box section. Needs to be about 5mm thick so the...

Cheers man, they were the only stickers i kept from the old colour. The guy who had it before me went a bit OTT in my opinion. Thanks mate. Nice to know people enjoy looking at what's been done so far :)

Spent the last couple of days getting the axle ready to be put back together. Cleaned and painted the swivel pin housing along with a couple of other things. Always enjoy these types of jobs with a tasty ale on the go :) Went to pick up some parts from Paddocks 2 new...

Thanks mate. I had thought about letting the scrap man have it at one point, i cant stand things getting the better of me though haha. Cheers mate, couple more things to do on the exterior then the inside is getting my full attention :rolleyes:

Thanks mate, has tested the old patience a couple of times, but learnt alot along the way... so far :o

So, This is by no means the finished article but a quick summary how it was, is now and where i want it to be. Started off like this in late 2012: 2 days after i bought it i found RUST :mad: All detailed on this thread...

If you look at my first build thread i probably used up a full bottle doing the whole of the rear end mate. Definitely had the gas turned up a bit to high as they seem to last for ages now though. i rent a 'midi' Argonsheild bottle (20L filled to 200bar same as a BOC 'Y') from Energas, costs...

Always like a good disco build thread. Good work so far, keep it up.

Just a quick one. Got all my bits today and my suspension finally turned up :) will put some pics up later. Question: I took the hub off the swivel hpusing in one. Can I put it back on in one or do I need to dis - assemble and put back on in stages. Got me thinking because will it affect me...

Just a little update and a few pics from the last couple of nights in the garage. Got the diff out. Everything looks ok, teeth aren't damaged and everything feels smooth to turn. One thing i did notice when getting it out of the axle, looks like the previous owner had used silicone...

Thanks James. Will just try and clean it up a little without dismantling.

I have no idea! Is there anyway to dismantle the the CV to pack it properly or are they one unit? At the minute it doesn't feel rough when its rotated, feels the same as the 'well lube up one'.

Well after today i'm quite glad i took the front axle off. Looks like i'll be doing a bit more than i ever envisaged but at least ill now it's sound when i put the axle back on. See if you can see the problems :( Nearside swivel Fist time i've had an...
