Finally got the landy over to the guy and job done! It now steers, stops and is sitting on a nice solid chassis! My wallet is now 450 lighter. I did all the other bits myself except for the seals, I figure the oil will stop the rest from rusting... Oh yeah, I now need a tank. Will I ever finish?

thanks lads, springs were ok, the plate that bolts on had snapped, gave a neighbour a fiver to weld it for me, back on the road!

yeah did the rims last month, dropped it round to a lad who took them off, sand blasted and primed them, I picked them up and sprayed them then dropped them back and he put them back on, all for €80, even left the masking on for me!

Spot the difference; (apart from the location!)

Hi again, been away for a while! So I lent my s3 to my brother and it came back with the exhaust split in 2 and the bracket off! Also the spring when you push the gear lever to the left to select reverse is gone. All gears are working fine. Is the spring just sticking and needs grease...

Anyone used dumdum for this?

Anyone, made a roof rack for a swb? Or know where to get one? I'm after just bars to carry a kayak.

Just a quick one for ye, I have the front prop off at the mo and will change the output and diff oil seals. My q is will I need to drain the diff and transmission oil? or would doing it on a slope do? Thanks James

Thanks lads! Handt seen those before Bump, will try them!

Hi again, Just back from a guy who is to do some welding for me and it turns out I have a bit more to do!! First he quoted me about €300 to replace 2 rear hangers, (cut out the old, patch and then replace), weld the centre xmember, patch under front spring, and a few other patches, with me...

And the best part about your channels is they wont rust! Which way up/round did you put the rubbers between door bottom and door top?

Ones out of a 90, 110, defender should go straight in, just done it on mine, you should be able to see them in the pics.

Keep up the good work pal, its looking great and makes me wish I had stripped mine to that level instead of doing a rolling resto! Nothing like getting stuck into something cos you enjoy it for therapy, head clearing, whatever you want to call it. Helped me loads following some issues I had...

i had those on a 2a I had, they are horrible to use! Think I'll stick to what I've got!:D

Is that a waste oil heater in the background?

Very nice! How did you fit your handbrake gator? Did you make it an "inny" or an "outy"? I put mine in as per manual, but now the handbrake wont catch!

The scabby bits!

Its Dec '71 built and red in '72. The Defender mirrors are what came on it and suffice for now. What ones should I look for?

Nice body job! Do us a favour and take some pics of fitting the door top, incl rubber seal and glazing strips, there are no good diagrams on the web or in books!

Good tip, thanks. So the surrounds should be blue? Will do that next time I get the paint out!
