Sadly our boy can't stay down the unit, but above and either side is people living, bit of a weird setup but we get on well with them. EDIT: To add on the security front I'm not going to take pictures of our locks etc that we've put in place since moving in but its well beefed and insured for...

So its worth saying at this point due to work commitments we all attempt to get together on a Sunday for a few hours to catch up and work on the projects. We all said from the get go we'd get at least 10 hours a week working there but realistically we're only getting 4-6 stint on a sunday and a...

Land rover tears haha sorry to hijack. It was my understanding that those said tears was how you knew it was indeed one? Back to original poster - why the choice to go air lockers before anything else? Just being nosey!

So going back to the photo with both the trucks. This was only for a few hours. Had a few jobs I wanted to button up - I didn't need to be in that side for it but the space was there and I felt the need to abuse the privilege. Firstly - when its been raining I pop on the brakes at the end of...

Our family story is kinda similar too - hands on people turned into office people. Not close family but uncles and the such. I've had my fair share of 'modern' cars and we have one at home. The OBD reader was an essential rather than an adjustable spanner and a set of mole grips to get you out...

To add on, wing off and windscreen off Somewhere along the line the fluids all got drained minus the fuel tank. Then off came the rest of the front end, radiator and intercooler etc then an assortment of odds and sods undone. Again had extra hands and things like the props etc all got...

Right made a coffee and a stack of dunkies at the ready! I skipped these pictures on the last update, wheels got swapped before anymore panels came off. Real shame the battered old yellow has to go, looks mean with the black wheels on! Or did when things were still attached anyway...

No for sure - theres still more to come as far as whats going on at the unit. Im just the tag along trying to soak up as much info as i can from those who actually know what they are doing! I wouldnt advise in any way shape or form vest welding as there was a few stings here and there! It was...

Love the commitment! Should be proud of yourself (and the wife and daughter seeing as they did the hard parts for you :-p)

So a Finley update! The more I looked, the more rust I found and made the decision that the body was coming off. Although a heap of extra work I didn't intend to be doing to begin with means at least I know its done. My paint of choice will be a bit easier panel by panel inside and out but...

So couple of steel bars put on and starting to get a feel for whats going where - not actually in the right place in this photo. Some more measurements to determine stretch required etc. Then a new base was made and levelled off to work from. From this the chassis negative was starting to...

A Charlie update; His project is based off the MX5, so the donor was bought and then set about stripping it down. All the bits not required etc getting listed up on Ebay and with the resale of parts it worked out cheaper this way round for him with the bits he wanted to keep. Charlies sister...

So another big heavy pic update. Catching up we're now into moving in - to give us as much pennies as poss for the projects in house everything around the unit was salvaged where possible. All wood etc was/is just stuff we've had stored up in garages and then keeping an eye out for freebies on...

So a quick update on Ryans engine change. As I want to upload these in one section I have to skip ahead of time a touch - in the photo's you'll see the 90 in the unit but that's part of a bigger upload really that will come after. Limited time means just easier to do it this way for a mo. After...

You mean Ryans V8? If so, i don't actually have any details but can ask him. Its for his TVR rather than a landy.

So was my time to get married! Grand young age of 31. We had an amazing day, wasn't interested in the 'fairytale wedding' but it was everything we wanted and a bit more. Weather started miserable then turned out screaming hot. Suited and booted, the night away from the lady before the big day...

I checked my truck on purchase as the guy i bought it from said it was loosing a bit now and then - top hose had a slit in it where they had levered it onoff with a flatblade screwdriver and punctured it. Cheap fix but it really didnt need to happen. Kinda mistake i'd make being an at home...

So I think we're about on that time where I go in search of the 90' to have at my mud toy. I had a small list of wants - dented no care attitude for the mud and secretly wanted the slide windows in the back. I found both - this however came with a host of issues! Settled on this one and named...

Around this sort of time myself and said friends (Charlie, Ryan, Alex) all went to look at a unit. This is just short time light industrial space. The cars pictured here aren't ours - they were just being stored there while a new group of silly individuals came there deciding working out in the...

Ok, excessive bumping to one side, I've learned my lesson and i'll use less pics per post to help stop the backlog and my PC having a melt down! Leading up to me getting married, the mrs had her hen do. I proceeded to use this time wisely of course and helped my friend Ryan put together his...
