For the Land Rover fans amongst us I thought I'd share a few photos of my Landy Lightweight which I've just finished a nut and bolt restoration on.
It's been off the road around 5 years in total after failing its MOT due to a rotten chassis.

Rebuilt from the ground up over the past 18 months on a new Galv chassis its been hard work and many many hours but finally it's completed

It's no Rolls Royce that's for sure but it's such fun, looking forward to some roof off motoring this summer.

Being a 1971 it's also tax exempt

Hope you enjoy a few photos












It's come a long way.







Well on the way here



Time to enjoy

 

That car's older than me....






































and in much better shape

 

Awesome that mate

 

Looks brilliant, lot of hard work has gone into that! Always been a fan of a Series after I had a Series III for 2 years, great fun

 

Looking good Kev,That must have taken some patience and many 'what the hell am i doing '
moments
Get it up to Rallyday with the offroaders

 

Spot on

 

As said yesterday Kev you have both done a top job on this it looks fantastic... Now get them sides rolled up

 

I wish it was older than me lol

I know it's a Subaru forum but there are a few secret Landy fans squeaking in the background, it's surprising who has had what

Loads of them moments
The first one was on the way home on the back of a trailer all in bits!!

Rally day!! Strewth that's motorway miles

 

I may pop around later and drip some oil on your driveway

 

Awesome!

Would love to have the time / space to do something similar!!

 

That's great, any more pics during the restoration?

 

I'll load a few more on photo bucket and post them up when I get 5

 

 

Very, very nice that sir - great job.

I've got a 1986 ex-military 90 with a 200tdi modified turbo and plenty of trick bits and over here I get to enjoy it as a soft-top all year round - enormous fun

 

Nice one Kev. Go enjoy

 

An ex military 90 is a great vehicle and a lot of fun, more useable than a series and a little easier on the old bones.
Your lucky to have that kind of weather but I intend to make the most of what little summer we have here

Cheers Frayz I'll try
