Fuji Shooter Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) I have never seen genuine door trim before. I am fitting some of the canvas ones from Exmoor Edited June 5, 2016 by Fuji Shooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 well it seems i messed up when i was asked what size the drums were and i said 11", on that i ordered some new cylinders and brake shoe return springs for the rear for a 109", turns out it has only 109" brakes on the front and 10" on the rear, so now the parts have to go back for the correct ones more wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH1 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I haven't read all 80 pages so I hope you don't mind me sharing some (hopefully inspirational) pictures of my rebuild. Took me a year, working outside, evenings and weekends: 53 0038_10150794373751397_1470704477_n by Paul Rowley, on Flickr 3 01760_10150794374086397_842991850_n by Paul Rowley, on Flickr 563 489_10150794373421397_1952238236_n by Paul Rowley, on Flickr 553229_10150794373326397_1608827364_n by Paul Rowley, on Flickr 53 8791_10150794372931397_2058473672_n by Paul Rowley, on Flickr 53 8540_10150794373106397_1423093413_n by Paul Rowley, on Flickr The short version of the story is that I bought a hard top Series III in 2000... Chassis cracked on me while on an off road course and was found to be in a terrible sate.A friend in the Landrover club sorted me out with a decent Series IIA that he had taken the bulkhead, body and other bits from. So basically I rebuilt what I had into the IIA (I had the chassis plate, reg and log book). Used re-con engine, gearbox, overdrive. Refurbed the axels myself, Dad and I welded up the chassis, I painted it. I welded up the bulkhead. Re-wired it all myself, painted the body, fitted hood hoops, new tilt, highback seats. Had help fitting the engine and gearbox (lying on my back in the snow). Fitted a LPG system even using a left side tank filler neck and cap as a dummy to hide LPG filler valve). Fitted Michelin XZL tries, rare original mudflats. Fitted a Nato tow hitch and bought a 3/4 ton Sankey trailer. It was a LOT of work but immensely satisfying as it flew through its MOT. I'm not a mechanic... but I had worked on my various classic MG's previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuji Shooter Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Finally welded up my radiator panel today with a replacement piece as mine was totally missing the bottom 2 inches Bought this new bottom repair panel and I have to say for £35 delivered I was quite impressed. Just need to shot it and get some etch primer on then back on prior to paint which is now 6 weeks late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 class mate, i didnt even know you could buy the bottom panel, where did you get that from, i will get one of them for my old one and do it up and sell it, the repair on my old one was poor to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 is it the whole bottom bit that was the bit you bought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji Shooter Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 is it the whole bottom bit that was the bit you bought? Yep complete pressed bottom panel with all of the holes already drilled. Bargain for £35 + postage of £6. They makes lots of repair panels for series. I can pm you her email if you need one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike737 Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I've had a Teng set for a goodly number of years, nothing broken ever, and the ratchet has very fine teeth so you can get movement in restricted spaces. Also spare bits and pieces are available seperately. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
