viking Posted December 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) well todays exiting challenge was a bit of a sad one as my dog died in the night so my first job was to bury him in the garden, but still cracked on with bonni just to take my mind of things. still very pleased with what id got done, massive trial and error challenge. will put more pictures on tomorrow when i have time, me thinks its time to go out in a bit and drown my sorrows, this is the end result.

Gordon R Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Lee - sorry about your dog. Surprising just how they can affect you. Landrover is taking shape - and a very fine one at that. I continue to be impressed. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Your axles look fine, but I wouldn't give your ratchet house room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Looks ok to me...........are you getting a new set of rims/wheels..? all my tools are top quality Machinemart.. ....and Lidl's........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Your axles look fine, but I wouldn't give your ratchet house room. whats wrong with my draper wrench, think i will treat myself to something better for next project, but up to press they have been fine. Looks ok to me...........are you getting a new set of rims/wheels..? all my tools are top quality Machinemart.. ....and Lidl's........... yes new tyres not sure about wheels yet, im hoping my old ones will come up ok but i doubt they will, and i want them to be spot on so its maybe new unless i can find a decent second hand set and have them refurbed, i wil have to do some costings on that, and as someone pointed out many many pages ago they might not even be the rite size wheel for the vehicle, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
