This thread has taken a disturbing turn in my absence.

 

I have just come in from bending up a new wing for mine. I know I know, unnecessary expense but the bottom part would no longer hold the accelerator bar in place and I can't get the weld to stick to the rust for some reason. I could have just built it up in MIG wire or welding rod, but in the end a bit of steel was cheaper and quicker. I am alternating between that and welding the front wing on my wife's Midget (I weld, she grinds it all off again...) and the latter is definitely more complicated. I wish she would settle for the same shaped wing as the one on the back of the dumper!

There is a Series 2 in bits which is making slow progress - this weekend will be topcoating various things black if the weather holds. There is a 2a in the shed in need of the gearbox taking off to sort the clutch, oh and a bit of welding on the chassis rails and outriggers, and the oldest known S2 109" Home Market Station Wagon is currently residing in my garden (not mine but I have the keys).

 

Is that enough Series Land Rovers do you think?

.. It will be if you put a tipper on it and 6x6. I got as far as the tipper  🙄 K
