A few before and after shots of the ā€œstill in progressā€ landy spruce up.
-The rear door, repaired and black Hammered Hammerite rolled.
-New fuel tank… the old one had a slight leak, don’t want that with the price of diesel!
-New chunkier tyres all round 😃 gonna look a beast!
-The annual chassis welding… šŸ™ˆ we’ll get round to a new one someday!
-Quick glimpse of the slightly tidier paintwork, not perfect but it’s all one colour at least!
-Front brakes, front prop, new mud flap, steering joints and damper bushes and full service to go!
-Bonnet gloss black ā€œDefenderā€ badge on its way…
-Also as we didn’t anticipate the rear floor needed removal, the back carpets have been ripped out and chucked in the washing machine ready to be re-glued- not many vehicles can do that! šŸ‘Œ

Thankyou to…
Neil @ N&K 4x4 Ltd. for suppling the parts and invaluable knowledge!

Roger @ Wayland Wood Cars for fitting the tyres, apologies they were such a pain! šŸ™ˆ

And of course Brett for doing the welding and mechanics! šŸ–¤

Anyone that knows our landy, knows the paintwork was all blistered, amazing how a tin of black Hammerite and a roller can be used to drastically improve the appearance! And a week of rubbing down the old paint of course! šŸ˜…
It’s still far from perfect but greatly improved and as it’s still classed as the worker of our fleet, I’m not being particularly fussy!

So the landy is in need of a bit of a tidy up both inside and out!
As it’s our work vehicle it does get some abuse!
It will be getting…
-The brand spanking new Jaguar electric front seats shown in the photos fitted. šŸ‘Œ
-New rear axle and diff, upgraded brakes from drum to disc plus all other parts required.
-New power steering pump.
-Service and MOT as standard.
-MOST IMPORTANTLY… the paint work is getting tidied up! 🄳
-Suppose I’d better clean it both inside and out too… šŸ™ˆ

Range Rover was showing up a ā€œlow coolant levelā€ warning quite regularly, caused by the float in the bottle becoming porous and sinking thus creating a false reading… Solution… new coolant bottle.
