keeper96 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hi guys, So following on from vikings build I thought I'd share my current project. It's not going to be anywhere near his standard of cleanliness or preparation as mines going to be used for going near puddles and dirt 😉  It started out as a 2.25 petrol hardtop with windows when we got it.  So far the list of parts required is 1x chassis (currently in paint) 4x springs (parabolic, just arrived as I type!!) 4x shocks Plus all the other little things like brakes and pipes etc.  The mechanical parts will all be sorted in house as my dad is a time served HGV mechanic and I work weekends in a Landrover garage 😂  The bodywork and major welding (bulkhead) is going to the garage I help out in. It's going to be refinished in pastel green and with an exmoor trim soft top.  Now then fun part.... anyone care to explain how to post pictures from a phone?

viking Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 god give me strength, not another land rover re build thread looking forward to this mate, we need plenty of pictures and explanations on what your doing. what i do with my photos is take them on my phone then email them to myself at a lower quality, so if i send 5 pictures it will ask what quality you just have to keep it at less than 300kb per photo, so 5 photos would be ok to send at 1.5mb's on an iphone anyway, hope this makes sense, it does to me, but then again im a little bit mental Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
