Hey Robp... How you getting on mate? Just crawled out from winter hibernation and got cracking on mine again. Mind you I guess you haven't got much left that needs changing now? :D so its on to upgrades next??? ££££££ :eek:

Just in the process of doing my swivels as part of a basic rebuild. I have used this video series.. Land Rover Swivel Pin Housing Introduction - YouTube This series will talk you through it nut and bolt. Its sponsored by Paddocks but the info is excellent.... Did my timing belt from...

No, I got the Avatar after I posted :) ... Forgot about transformers but when googling Bumblebee guess what came up..... so I thought I'd run with it...

Well eventually a name came to me..... Bumblebee.... This popped in to my head when I looked at my paint choice and the brit part springs and bushes. At the moment she is green, but will shortly be painted with non slip black paint. The name also suits the noise she made when I fired her up...

So after a mild..ish, but very wet winter, I am finally able to get back on with the Landy. :banana: The pressure is now on to finish it, as I have a house move to contend with, and would like it back on the road before that happens. SO after a long hiatus here are the latest pics. Swivels...

Well its becoming a long old slog through the winter but I am managing to get bits and bobs done in between the rain and wind. What with Christmas and early holiday not had much time free. I have almost finished the fiddly bits at the front. I have cut out all the rot and welded in new patches...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!! Heres to a finished Land Rover in 2014 and 300 posts.... Rather fitting as I do feel at times like I am fighting the Battle of Thermopylae!! Have a great year one and all... Whoever you are, what ever your doing I wish you the best.... :5bcheers2: Oh and Yes this really...

What about Marine... or Commando...hard as f@&k...

By far the best.... wawwy....

Have you named your Landy? If so... What and Why?... I've not named mine yet, like the idea, but not entirely sure why. For me, I think it'll mostly be the fact I've put so much time in to her that she feels very special and deserves a status greater than just 'a car'. Bit weird maybe...

Cheers mate, I'm getting there slowly, it makes it a lot harder with the cold weather and shorter days. Hoping to have her back on the road early part of next year and then I can continue doing bits and bobs to finish her off.... :D

Yeah those are the ones I just don't really want to replace the light box as its in ok nick... I have got some u section 3mm steel which fits in perfectly i just need to weld a mount hole to it then I can cut out the old one and weld this one in place... if that makes any sense whatsoever.. :D

Yeah i'll try right at the front of the new box section sill and see what happens :D

Yeah just don't want to twist anything. Its only the two at the very front which need repair the ones by the sills and under the arches are "fine" :lalala:.. ok so not perfect but plenty left to support the body and when cleaned up and painted will last a few years yet. The two front ones are...

Lol.... Restricted access due to bad welding ;) I will have another look on YRM s site, I was going to buy the little side trims for the boot floor from them as well so might get everything in one... The other thing is the front body mount which need repairing trying to work out how I can lift...

Well purchased this months LRO yesterday so will be having a good look tom... Looks ok and the ads although there are a lot are better than my other mag which had ads for watches that cost more than a nice defender... at least these ads are mostly for bits I can puton my car... I don't looking...

Had a good weekend at the Landy. The Stallion popped in and berated me for being an idiot in not being able to find the pin hole for locking the crank saying it was obvious.... :p.... I hurmphed and mumbled about Haynes description being rubbish, he didn't take that as an excuse and said I was...

Well done mate you'll be glad you persevered :banana:

Check this out Land Rover 200tdi Engine timing belt replacement with front cover removed - YouTube its really good and clear....

Will do it this weekend mate... Mine are back on but I'll do some pics of the bolts etc after that its really just working around with a knife...
