  1. I think I'd surrender before fitting a bayonet to those things
  2. hmmm this thread may go viral after that Hummer Style. Sorry but looks like an add for Cadbury Freddo chocolates
  3. Today marks the 69th anniversary of the United States declaration of war on Japan http://www.news.com.au/pictures/gallery-e6frflv9-1225967630622?page=1 The attack was on the 7th and the US declared war on Japan on the 8th Clandestine support of Britain (for example the Neutrality Patrol) was replaced by active alliance and full participation in the European Theater. Subsequent operations by the U.S., as well as the Axis alliance, prompted Germany and Italy to declare war on the U.S. on December 11, which was reciprocated by the U.S. the same day
  4. Similar [ATTACH]38504[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38503[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38502[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38501[/ATTACH]
  5. all seems brand new..... was one of those impulse buys
  6. yep a derivitive of the original stilleto
  7. Picked this up a while back as I liked the look of it. Feels quite balanced Now resides in the bedside table [ATTACH]38481[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38480[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38479[/ATTACH]
  8. same as an SLR one we used. Slot is where the pin on the scabbard fits Worst Army drill 'fix and unfix bayonets' Well I guess ground arms was a pain also
  9. Well spring idea didn't work as spring compressor bolts to short :cry:. So will have to try something different next weekend At least the body is comming back together [ATTACH]38476[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38474[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38475[/ATTACH]
  10. hhhhhmmm wonder what Hong Kong had plugged into it to be different. Was looking today that the in/out plugs are same as Pinz so may be some type of standard Nato
  11. you should of time lapsed youtubed it ahhh glad you had a win, I hope I have such luck today
  12. What was the issue with the turrets? I ask as had a good expat contact in Thailand who used to work for the supplier and he was telling me one version had issues with the recoil being transmitted to the body to a very large extent. In his words "the wheels were falling off due to the shock" and was the project he was sent there for, and never went home.
  13. also seen 200TDI's fitted. 101's are great Land Rovers (Lightweights are slightly better ). At least you can sleep in a 101 though! Main thing on a 101 is to get a good chassis and diffs as both are hard to get [ATTACH]38473[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38472[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38469[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38468[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38470[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38471[/ATTACH]

  15. This panel is from a Hong Kong FFR Questions: 1. Are they same as UK MoD? 2. If yes anyone know where to get the power in power out cables (plugs on either side)?
  16. Well all bolted on very well and the radiator nose grille wire is in so the yellow intercooler is not so evident. [ATTACH]38446[/ATTACH] Been painting all the unpainted bolt off bits. Tailgate needs adjusting but required a non typical allen key size, so got that, therefore a lunch job tomorrow. [ATTACH]38448[/ATTACH] Picked up a new spring compressor tool and made a special adaptor for them which I will try out first thing tomorrow. [ATTACH]38447[/ATTACH]
  17. can if I can get a payback on my bank draft
  18. Slow day today as the labour sorted out a lot of the bits.... Now I can't find the bits I need!!! [ATTACH]38412[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38409[/ATTACH] A bit of detail, "perhaps to much" :-). The Pinz radiator covers tend to bounce around as only held by self tappers and spring nuts at the top. This results in lots of paint damage. So I removed the spring nuts and put in rivnuts (hopefully haven't created another problem). [ATTACH]38411[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38410[/ATTACH]
  19. I got sent a guide for one of them 'somewhere' will have to dig around when I get home
  20. Have a good one "with the dancing girls"
  21. Yeah it is worrisome as I pay preferably always by TT when I buy stuff around the world. I speak poor Aussie English so perhaps that helps
  22. Not in the UK..... Used to be a Japanese truck somewhat similar to a Dodge in Pattaya I can't even think of anything in museums out this way as I guess they rode bicycles here
  23. aaaaaahhhhhhh I hate it when spending money on another project sounds logical
