Ey up!
On a purely selfish note, I would quite like to have a nosey at
your engine and how it sits in the vehicle. Whilst I am not
planning on stroking mine to 3 litres (not any time soon,
anyway...) I do like the idea of the carb elbow on yours to
clear the pedal box with the Weslake head fitted. Not far away
so might have to pop over...

Had a good day today as AlexB helped me out with a rear prop to
go with my recently purchased Salisbury axle. Also a side panel
(b pillar,sill, base c pillar combo bit) in salvageable
condition and blue coloured. Top chap.
If the weathers better tomorrow I might get a few chores done
ans start to make a parts/welding list for the chassis and body.

Aye shout up what bits you need, I am clearing out a load of
stuff from my build so may be able to help.
Photo any bits where you need repair sections welding or
riveting in.

Hello,
I got the fuel tank out today and now have about 10 gallons of
diesel to clean, lubricate or preserve fencing. Trust me to have
2 petrol cars.
The tank is in great shape and after a wire brush and a bit of
rust converter on the surface rust it's already to paint.
After a quick look at the rear chassis its better than I
thought. The rear cross member is rough. I will have another
look and hope that it will do for the time being.
I am getting together a list already of bits I will need
purchasing and welding - bugger
-Lowers A pillar
- Side panels (front sill ends and C post repair sections)
- Front door tops
- Second row doors (i'd like to keep the original paint door
skins)
- Passenger side footwell
- Couple of plates to finish the chassis middle section
- Rear floor step where the middle row seats fix.
I'm sure the list will grow.

If the diesel is spare and possibly a bit stale, bring it to
Shell Island and we can run it through the tent heater!

Rear floor step where the middle row seats fix.
Are you replacing the whole step or splicing/ riveting in a
patch or two? I spliced a patch in and have the rest of the step
section so could cut you repair patches out of an original panel
if you want.

Unfortunately I have no step it seems to have been 'removed'.
I believe its part of a weight removal for performance - the
same way bits of the chassis are missing!

Well the process is slow.
Other 'house' jobs keep stealing my time.
Did get to get a coat of primer on the fuel tank so that's a
start.
Also started to remove the seat box but the bolts in the front
passenger floor and sills are rusted solid. Also the bolt
anchoring the vintage seat belts into the brackets have an
unusually shaped top so no idea how i will get those out. Looks
like a lot of grinding in my future.
My impending birthday has resulted in early gifts of an electric
impact wrench and a 100ah 830cc new heart for the LR.
Good news is that most of the chassis seems pretty solid if some
is a bit ugly, It will need a new rear crossmember with
extensions. The under neath of the lowest chassis section under
the pedals on the drivers side is a bit weak too.
Well It's going to be a busy year

Well my week of has started with lots of rain - great.
Taken the grill and radiator out to fettle the bottom of the
grille which is a little crusty and also to look at the front
chassis which fortunately looks good. The rad looks ok.
The starter is very slow and think its a rubbish old starter as
all the connections seem ok. Will get it off and perhaps fit new
bushes.
