Today I acquired...........

^^ My thoughts too

 

[mr migwire]

will stick a picture of the log book up when it reurns, dont let the front end fool you, i am told it is something of a hybrid but deffo 61.

 

[rtbcomp]

It's a SIII handbrake & bulkhead too, although it might be a SIIa column judging by the floating ignition lock.

 

[mr migwire]

its also a 2.5 N/A diesel under the bonnet, a bit of a hybrid indeed but never the less a landy, may be a pita ordering parts though....

Disappointed !!!!!!

I was at a boot sale near Barnstaple yesterday and wasn't allowed to buy a brand new Zippo lighter for the princely sum of 3 quid. I'm trying to repair my relationship with her so it wasn't worth the hassle.

What on earth were you doing at a boot sale with your other half?????
We have no secrets apart from what I buy at the boot sale, oh and whats in the garage , shed etc

 

[God mode restorations]

I have to have secrets. Or its the hours worth explaining why I needed to buy it. Am stuffed when parcel force arrive.

A little something I picked up recently

Nice....a good price to...happy days

Just missing the handle though. If anyone has a spare one with 13mm square hole there are some beer tokens awaiting.

 

[Seadog]

I've looked at those. But £35 for a cast iron handle seems a bit strong.

 

[brightspark]

make your own

Got this from one of the guys at work today as it was, and I quote "knackered". Quick strip down this evening as he said the bearing or bearings were shot and it seems the front armature bearing could be a little wobbly, but the bevel gear is quite worn. So back together it goes, quick look around has produced the replacement bosch bearing and bevel gear for the pricely sum of £10 delivered and I have another little angle grinder. Happy days.

u could use a ring spanner or a socket and weld a handle on it find the size and get a cheap one from car boot sale

 

[Seadog]

It may come yet to that.

I've got one suitable, but I don't know the hole size.

I can have a rummage if you want ?

 

[Seadog]

I wait with bated breath

Seadog, I might have one doing nothing, I'll have a butchers in the morning and measure it up.
