Well done tuppy, now the real learning:biggthumpup:

That ratio is great for me Dean, ive probably got twice as much to lift:wave: Lol!

Could never get on with a pantin, and cant footlock either so i just drop a loop, put one foot in it holding the loop up and stand. Seems to work for me, dont know what its called though, Pete McGadget has seen me do it, could it be a half footlock?

Hi Chris, as kev says, any of the landy forums are good to ask. Converting is not such a big issue as far as mountings go. The gearbox mounts bolt through the chassis and everything is lined up from there-just the engine ones are different. If you change the box, you may need a shorter front prop, and the v8 will need engine mounts welding in. You can get adapters for this to fit your n/a mounts but ive heard they tend to bend with torque from the big lump! Not sure whats involved in fitting the EFi-never had anything to do with it- but plenty get done so cant be too much to do. Oh, just thought, if you want them i have pics of where the v8 mounts go!

Dont want to pick fault mate, but i wouldnt have had any of my extremities at thatside of the tree at all:wave: Nice to do a job like that though, earn some good brownie points:icon14: Well done.

It looks like i need to be more patient! At the moment she is only 4 months old so still lots of time. As you have all said i think the best way is encouragement, and definately not to rush her and scare her. She actually is retrieving well, likes the water(goes after the fish at home!), just very reluctant to retrieve from the water! I do have a mate whos got a dog ours are familiar with and swims a lot, but he lives 15 miles away. The thought of me wading into water upto my nuts at this time of year is a bit scary..... but i guess thats why the dog is reluctant to jump in, especially for the first time! Guess its just time, cheers:icon14:

Cheers Mac, i think the red will get noticed! The wifes choice:scared: As far as the gas goes, already got the LPG kit:drunk: Guess it might be best just to use it on longer runs:proud:

Cant you see, Snoopy has it on her back:icon14:
-
Here is Pip again- perhaps not the best place to have a kip!
-
Just a couple more, nearly upto date. This is the make-do spray shop, a commercial greenhouse- cheaper than a low bake oven! The new bulkhead, and yes this is to be the finished colour!
-
Another silly pruning job, light lifts, cleaning crowns, a thin on the cherry and a reduction on the rowan(already done in first pic) Another days steady money tho with about a barrow load of chips:icon14: After;
-
The thought of that at the beginning of May has given me a shiver! Maybe in 3 months........
-
Not had much big stuff to do lately, but heres the old faithful:scared: Took about 20 feet off these two; Nasty job, took about 3 hours, but got a full days money out so, hey:icon14:
-
Been a while since anyone posted pooch pics, and i know there are others of the dog dishwasher, but heres Pip doin the pre-wash;
-
Yep im stuck, keep taking the pup to the river but cant get her to swim for a ball or stick! Tried several times, throwing further each time but she gets to this point then leaves the ball/stick! Any suggestions? Oh, the old dog in the pic(Snoopy) does swim, but she like to follow another dog!
-
I got a samurai a few weeks back because it was cheap- mistake! As steve said when he opened the thread, they bend!
-
Could be a bit rough, and some might slag me off, but if you catch it doing it, rub its nose into the doo then put the cat in the tray. Usually works, if not, shoot it!
-
All the work so far has taken longer and cost more than expected, but the whole idea is to end up with a vehicle to keep as a toy so its got everything new that its needed. This includes a new bulkhead, for anyone who doesnt know land rovers, thats a task on its own! Pics will follow!
-
I did have some help, my dad, he was real chuffed to see the motor go in without trouble, said it was the loader driver, need i say more?
-
After getting all stripped was time to start putting shiney stuff back together;
-
Soon became evident all i had bought was a decent engine, box and axles! And after removing the big lump;
-
Ok, so its been noticed ive not been posting as much recently, so here is why:cool23:; I bought an old 110 station wagon to restore, you know, one of those "something i always wanted to do but never had the time or money" type of things. Now well on with it, i relise i still havent got enough of either:scared: Anyway, here is a few pics from early on. I will post more when i have more time. This was when i first got it, wased near half a ton of mud to reveal the massive task! After a while removing some stuff that could be salvaged;

Yeh, dont recon you will get a penny mate, especially leaving the brash. Just right it off and move on, sometimes you just get into a corner and a rash decision is needed. My sympathy over the money mate:thumbsdown:
