Thanks, made a bit of progress this evening, fitted the latches for the tailgate, removed the EGR valve on the engine and fitted a blanking plate, and fitted the seatbox side panels. going to pick a truck cab up for it saturday morning. then work on the bulkhead will resume now the parts and...

Been busy today on the series 2, started by taking the angle grinder and wire wheel to the front panel, bulkhead and seatbox. Removed all of the black paint leaving a bit of marine blue and mostly bare metal. cut the bottom section off leaving decent steel to weld to. the old...

not much progress this week but managed to get some time in after work tonight, stripped all the bits of the bulkhead ready for some "surgery" tomorrow, then made a start on the seatbox, its going to get two new sides as the old ones were covered in chequer plate not to my taste...

not too sure about the tank, its galvanised so dont think its ali. seems to pop up on google so think its probably just a more modern replacement pressed steel rather than welded. thanks yes had a good weekend on it :) yeah ive tried trouble is when heating it too add more rod it kept...

got some more work in today, started off cleaning the underside of the tub and then put on some waxoil, cleaned the crud off the tank and got that refitted pretty bad time to get cramp when propping up a 3/4 full diesel tank wedged against a wall but oh well its back on now. :eek: tub...

got a little done today, started by lifting off the tub and carrying out a small repair to one of the tabs that the back of the tub mounts to simple straighten and weld job, easy now i have my new mask :D (sorry no pics of the repair) then after inspecting the chassis and cleaning any...

Brilliant cheers for the advice, and sorry Sam for hijacking your thread :o keep up the good work. :D

thanks guys, yes the plan is too spray it. was that the finish straight out of the gun 90 truck cab, looks very nice and shiny do you remember what paint it was? ill look through your thread later to find out if not.

looks great, quick question how are you finding the paddocks paint ? i seem to recall reading somewhere that the quality had gone down hill? would you recommend it. i will be after some green in the not to distant future for my series 2. Sam :)

yeah it was on the cards but not having the best of luck with ebay at the minute sold an engine he was meant to pick up last weekend but no contact since and he seems to be ignoring messages. need to clear some space you see so i can remove the tub to paint the chassis. :(

yes i guess that means it is a series three tub then, suppose it could swop the light around to look more original dont like the badge either so going to get the ally ones. Todays progress, started off my driving it onto the drive and cleaning the gearboxes and footwell some brake fluid has...

Thanks thats good news then, ill bear that in mind for the future. got a few things done tonight, stripped all the bits off the wings (chequer plate, lights, brackets and numberplate) then started to sand but too messy for inside the garage, plan is to make the most of the weather and do it in...

Well not too sure really its pretty tiny that one and could easily become very awkward manoeuvring. there is another one on the boxes of parts that came with the landrover but its in pretty bad condition, seems to have cracked across the horizontal spokes not sure whether its structural or just...

yeah hopefully this is saveable looks ok from the other side, took it off and revealed that on the back should be ok tho. haha no i dont really do resting, not for a while anyway :p

Hello people, i brought a milemarker H12 winch from ebay to fit to my 1989 land rover running a 300tdi, it was removed from a 200 so the belt and pulley were different so i contacted first four and they supplied me with them. but i couldnt justify there £58 for a new mount so modded mine to fit...

ok then, had a few issues regarding this winch but took the plunge yesterday and did some laning in it, great fun not too dirty though. now onto the winch issues, basically its the blind leading the blind the winch came off a 200 tdi and ive modded the bracket to fit the 300tdi timing case...
