Judging the price of a new chassis and bulkhead it will take me longer than six months to save enough money! Even though I’m planning on a long term project if the last two restorations are anything to go buy it’ll be ready by Christmas! 😂 Engine is a 1997 cc petrol

old fashioned log book

Third build, and things are starting to get interesting. Finding an Anglesey registered Series 1 was impossible but stumbling across one on Anglesey registered in a near by county Denbigh was close as I was going to get. First registered to Sir Alfred McAlpine of 80 Park Lane London and garaged...

Will start a new thread for the series 1 as soon as the 300tdi is completed. Declas on route Front galv bumper arrived today, have acid eched it ready for primer and black paint.

After attacking the tree that had grown through her here she is on her maiden voyage home

Here’s to the next local landy project ! This time a series 1 109 truck, first registered to Sir Alfred McAlpine in 1959 spent all its life in North Wales so another tick in the box. Does need some work though…. New chassis, new bulkhead and some T cut…..

Last pieces of the jigsaw going together, LR dog guard painted and installed jack painted and kept and wheel chock painted and … oh hang on where the hell does this go ? Any ideas where it should be stowed ?

Full 2 stage machine polish by www.detailbug.co.uk prior to applying the decals, then a re visit for wax

That was my thoughts, less is more 😂

I’m thinking on some decals on the side, not the original county ones but something like this ? What’s the consensus ? I personally thinking of going for the right defender in white one

Thats it booked in with DetailBug on 23rd Jan for a full 2 stage machine polish and wax treatment. Ready to hit the road then ! Sorry …. Dry road 😂

I appreciate your comments I had thought of gloss black but to keep it as per original I sprayed them. NAS bar fitted this evening which took some fetteling but well pleased with how it looks. Next on the purchase list is swing away spare wheel carrier, stainless steel black front bumper with...

Boots are on !

Today’s tinkering consisted of fitting the rear roof liner. Looking ok few creases in the vinyl around the alpine window cut outs but all in all I’m pleased. Landy then jacked up on axle stands ready for when the new boots arrive on Tuesday. Will take them to work to fit on the rims and balance...

Phew thank goodness that I didn’t end up throwing the deivers one away as the tilt mechanism was broken, but nothing a big hammer and mig welder couldn’t sort. I’m shocked with the prices of certain landy items, some expensive and otheres cheaper than thought. For example roof liners expensive...

Yes original seat sliders and bases cleaned and painted, had a few welds to do to get them working as they should but apart from that they look as good as new

Headliner vinyl re glued today, very happy with how it’s turned out. Will leave it overnight before fitting it tomorrow. Before and after pics what a difference a bit of bleach and scrubbing does
