so a bit more progress in the last few days got a few more brake pipes on just got the last one which is shaped to go on , then i can bleed the clutch and brake systems up eventually managed to get the hinges flat and nice with the primer so they have had a few layers of the top coat...

thanks for the tip , i have been working right next to a garage heater , but as you say it probably isnt getting warm enough, and i have managed to choose the worst month ever to do the painting , but oh well so i will give that idea go and again thanks for the advice :)

havnt done much the last few days , ive put on some more brake pipes so that is coming along and soon will be bleeding the systems through ive managed to get some primer on some bits, so ive put the galv primer on the bulkhead , with a brush and really pleased with the finish ive...

haha yes i know , ive already got a list of things to do when its built :) and yes, im not getting rid of this one, not after this :)

thanks mate , i think its coming along now, im the same, i cant wait to see how good i can get it to look as a finished car :)

had half a day on the engine today, not much happened but its a time taking job, put the front cover all back together with the water pump etc , new rocker cover gasket, new oil filter and some lovely fresh oil to finish it off :) so its onto the wiring the next time im in the...

ye its staying galv under the bonnet, dont see the point in painting it all cos it isnt going to go rusty :) ive got the primer, ive just got to put some filler in a few dents and then i can paint it, just painting the pillars and the vent panel, and the cobalt blue paint is on its way, cant...

got the old bulkhead off of the old chassis today and also bolted a few bits onto the shiny one , slowly but surely its coming along :)

it just happened that we had a pair from a 109 we broke a couple of years ago, i suppose you could make them and leave them unpainted, you could even polish them ;)

right well did another half a days work today, got all the pedals, and heater off of the old bulkhead and painted them up ready to go on tommorow, have also done a few bits and pieces on the shiny one :) so i will post some more pics tommorow :)

ye, and my loom is totally shot :(

really? it feels like its taking forever, and as for the bulkhead, yes it did,it was about a holes width out, this could of been because they are both second hand parts that i bought or because of the galvanising, probably both , but it was easy to fix, i just put one bolt in and put a ratchet...

had a few spare hours today, so ive put the bulkhead on loose, im amazed it fits but it wasnt a problem!!, so that has now uncovered a s**t load of work for me to do, and i hate wiring!! a few pics (sorry about the focus, i dont know what happened there) so, i think that counts...

right well at the weekend i had a little go at the timing belt, and so 3 hours later it was going very slow, the classic water pump bolts and all of that, but the cover is off , to find another problem, the front crankshaft oil seal is leaking so that needs to be changed, im waiting for a new...

well sorry to say that nothing has happened to the landy in the last week, had a load of exams this week so i just couldnt, will hopefully be finishing the timing belt tommorow though, with new filters, oil and check the tappet clearances, so as it was so cold i decided to have a go at things...
