Some Pictures

Just after I pressed upload on the last post, I found some more pictures I took, so here they are (Dial-up users, look away now, or upgrade!)

The Oil Bath Air Filter. It’s no wonder it runs oddly! All it took was an hour some white spirit and lots of rags to get it to the top picture. I also sprayed WD40 on the cloth/rubber hose, to stop it drying out. I may put a K&N filter on eventually, if not I’ll prime the unit and hammerite it in some funky colour! I’ll put a new air intake hose on as well (possibly!

 

All the current pics I have of the interior. Dash hasn’t changed much, apart from getting the wipers working, but the radio cassette has gone, as has most of the random LIVE wires lying in the dash. To the right you’ll see a plate with a switch in. That now houses 2 light up toggle switches that control the fog lamp and rear work lamp. Eventually, when I find a place that works it’ll be fixed to the dash. Will take updated pictures tomorrow for you!

Some random pictures now, The truck hot off the press. That was taken outside Evans house, after the long drive back from Stoke!

 

 

The rest are the door on the drivers side. I pulled the old newspaper that was filling the hole, ground all the useless metal off and primed it all up. This means there are some gaps there but I’d rather have all the rust taken out and converted than leave it there. Then there’s the serial tag from the heater matrix, a nice front on shot, the state of the old heater/coolant hoses and the engine, along with a working watertight thermostat housing (where the big rubber pipe at the front comes out of the engine)

And some tools and fluids I bought from Halfords. That red tool chest is £50 at the moment, with 10% off as well! Seems good so far, has tackled some big bolts on the front hub.

Drill was £15, and does a good job of undoing nuts quickly!

And an action shot of the work light and fog light working. Eventually the other fog light will work, but I need to grind the cage off the left lights, and take the ruddy crane off to get to the wires that run across the truck. The numberplate light needs replacing too. The 2 back steps may or may not go back on the new rear crossmember it needs. The Landrover badge is in the garage waiting to be painted.
