Re: Land Rover Rustorashun and other shit

Richard roughly what do you charge for something like you are doing on that Vogue? My 2 door will need similar and I don't think I'll ever get around to doing it myself. Mr Vogue is in for £5k ish on labour so far. Both sills replaced, new front inner wings, bulkhead solid and starting to assemble

Re: Land Rover Rustorashun and other shit

Bastard thing 20220530_122124.jpg The series 3 200tdi is finished and is now back with it's owner 20220531_...

part 6 The only way forwards has to be to replace the entire side section of the bulkhead. Luckily this panels are widely available 20220517_164621.jpg Removed axle from the Vogue SE as it needs new brakes and polybushing. just easier to do it this way. 20220519_141855.jpg Ground back all the suspec...

Re: Land Rover Rustorashun and other shit

part 5 coming right up Vogue SE outside, this view of the front footwell is not uncommon. Rot has accelerated under the MoT bodges 20220513_122321.jpg I started to cut out the localised areas of rot with a view to splicing new steel in where needed. However there was so much, 20220513_160906.jpg Esp...

Re: Land Rover Rustorashun and other shit

Part 4 Series 3 88" 200tdi is a 1982 vehicle and had lap belts across the front row of seats. Not good for a thorough MoT test. This frame came from Exmoor Trim and allows the 3 point seat belt to do it's thing without shattering shoulder blades etc 20220508_170043.jpg Battery box in this pic c...

Re: Land Rover Rustorashun and other shit

part 2 - LSE wheel came back, air suspension is very lethargic and noisy too. oh and it started to snow 20220402_141920.jpg Looking for a decent battery for the Series 3 200TDI proved to be a challenge. 55amp/hr is no where near enough to get it started without glowplugs. Battery is installed under ...
