So one can look wicked cool innit

Northern Irish or French. That Cheryl Tweedy sounds pretty good. She's from oop north somewhere.

Jap wagons fade out of existance when next to any Land-Rover. Simplicity and British engineering at it's best. (Modern landies excluded!)

Have a nice soild cab for sale. I've tried to cover all aspects in the photos but feel free to ask for more or to come and see it. It needs new window channels which is easy enough, and will need a paint in your desired colour, as I have pressure washed it in preparation for painting it myself but I am now converting to a canvas hood. The roof is not perfectly straight but isn't bad as pictures show. Has the guttering for the 3/4 hood fitted. Fully glazed. £50 collected from Findon, West Sussex.

SOLD Have a pair of 90/110 doors up for grabs - the ones with the pull handle. Straight skins with a bit of your standard aluminium oxidation. Both had repairs by the PO, which if anything has made them stronger! The bottom rail bits of the frame are in fine fettle - no rust there (or any of the frame in fact.) The windows wind up and down ok, but there is damage to the winding mechanism in the usual fashion. I have the door linings, and a box of goodies with bits like the inside door latch and cup, and lock catch and cup and interior handles. I'll chuck these in with no extra charge!. The Lock barrel is missing from the passenger side, but can be locked from the inside and the barrels are easy enough to fit and cost a couple of quid. Recklessly thrown in with the doors are the hinges, strikers and the mirrors. Both the arms are good, but one mirror head is a bit floppy (the passenger I believe). I'm looking for £80 ? (open to offers) for the pair and bits collected from Findon, West Sussex.

Then I hope I got that wrong! Should do about 10 - 20 mpg

:good: My 2 n a quarter used about 10 litres in 4 or 5 miles round the farm. Expensive way to get around! If I knew how many litres in a gallon...

I couldn't find any camouflage paint...

It's not for removing rust - don't need it on steel as you can use ordinary primer. Acid/self etching primer is for aluminium and any other metal surface that paint would not normally stick to. So yes I would imagine it would be a good choice for alloys. Has to be spotlessly clean before hand or it won't stick so well. Any pits will still show through if you don't rub them enough

Yes bulkhead is pretty good, chassis is repaired. These are where most money goes on em - which is why I got this one - anything else can be done yourself with a bit of know how. I realise they're not the most economical of engines but what you gonna do. The only other Landy engine worth putting in is the 200 tdi. The others have been ruined by electronics and all these modern 'improvements'. The 200 tdi is a bit modernised for my liking but they're good.

It's a 1968 two and a quarter petrol ex RAF. A lot of the RAF stuff was left to rot by a Welsh farmer unfortunately as there aren't many RAF ones about. The front end (with under/over style lights and bonnet catches), seatboxes, engine and gearbox are original. Used to be the RAF blue but rubbing down shows it's been a few colours since. Bronze green now how I want it. Going to put a tilt on - need to restore the door and get another and it'll be amazing. Needs a bit of tinkering under the bonnet.

All painted now - with no reaction! Needs another rub down and top coat. Also been doing the front axle. Just need to put the hub and Faireys back on, change the rear cylinders and shoes and springs, then bleed them. Spot on. :good:

Yeh I've not been shooting much at all since I got it. Depleted my shooting fund too. I've been shooting longer than Land Rovering though. And it's my shooting wagon. And it's the off road section!

And there was me thinking how well you did getting one that still had the proper colour roof and eyebrows! Looks good though. Good choice with the A bar and light guards - best aesthetic mod on a 90 I think. Those A bars mind aren't that strong so would probably still crumple round a fat bird :lol:

Thanks chaps. Already got some stuff from there Billy. They have better quality bits than most of the stuff from Paddock, but they're both good. Yup I'll never finish tinkering Yup I'm on the Series 2 club forum. Very useful stuff. Don't think Viking will ever live that down :) Get some pics up of yours Paul. Just rubbing down the tub at the moment. Should have it done by this evening or tomorrow evening so should be painted by the end of the week. Using the synthetic enamel from Paddocks in Bronze Green. Very nice to brush on as it runs just enough to smooth out the brush marks to leave a nice finish. Bit like my bonnet! You can see some runs and brush strokes in it but it isn't bad. Not looking for a concourse finish anyway. Just a nice classic bronze green all over.

Got my Landy a couple of months ago now, and after a good going over quite a bit revealed itself. Spent ages taking off Hammerite and other paint off the all galvinised bits (tub, windscreen and bonnet had been covered). Then rubbed down the bonnet, acid etched and painted in Bronze Green. Lovely jubbly! Before: After: Then after I put all nice new EP90 in everywhere, the offside front started leaking it out of the brake drum! Slightly worring (and a lot out the swivels too.) So stripped these back to reveal quite a horror story. Bearings seized and running in silt, swivel bearings all silted up and running in rust etc. Also the brake cylinder had seized and the nearside was leaking. Notice my new snail adjuster! (No it hasn't got an MOT don't worry!) New ones I picked up from a Landy jumble for £5 a side!! Now all nicely put back on with new railkos and bearing and seals etc. This is as far as I've got so far on both sides. Also been rubbing down the rest for painting. Acid etched where the metal poked through. Filler primed for painting. And fitted some proper seats and *****. Got a IIa door which need rubbing and etching and painting. Got some zinc primer for the steel bits on the other side. Not had time for much shooting recently. This is going to be my shooting wagon, as well as just my lovely Series. I shall be taking the cab off and putting a tilt on. I'll whack some piccies up when I'm done.

What a lethargic expression he's got. "That's that, but now I've got to find somewhere to bury the stupid old sod..."

Can't beat a juicy clam.

Well I went on a diy walked up shoot jobby and was using 32g 5 and 6, as I thought I use 6 on pigeon, and pheasant is bigger and tougher so i'll use 5 and 6. The veterans seemed to think this was far too much lead and too large shot, but I beg to differ. They were using 28g 6 and even 7 some of them.

Lack of maintenance it sounds like. Handbrake adjustment should be checked every few thousand miles. It'll be a transmission brake on the disco, lock the transfer box.

The dandelion and the Jess in the sunset are my favourites. And the way the fox cubs are poking out the hole like that looking at me

Thanks for that - now I have one reason for accepting poofters :blush: A good one at that.

Nice n springy.

Loves chicken korma :rolleyes:

IC is improved cylinder, which is like a quarter choke, and M is half choke. I assumed the Y's were just another way of classifying them, like the notches on Browning chokes.
