CabbMech Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Evening/Morning depending on when you read this, The names Lee/Cabbage Mechanic and I am Landrover 110 Preservation Expert or at least my Landy likes to think I am. I don't own it, it owns me. Had it for some years now and been through several preservation attempts but alas all failed. Now I am undertaking a preservation task that would rival the Mary Rose herself. So stripped Landy, Cut off entire rear section of chassis and rewelded a new Puma half chassis to my 300tdi front half. Many things inbetween have been undertaken but now finishing off with a Nato Green paintjob to go with my Sankey Field Kitchen trailer (Hence the Cabbage Mechanic) which is to be used as part of an events catering business. Popped by for a little help on one part of the 110 Preservation order. Work in progress >>>>>>>>>> Edited March 6, 2014 by CabbMech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CabbMech Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 Thought I would drop by with a little update. Managed to get everything sorted ref. Track Rod and ends and on the final push of my rebuild. I know its not quite authentic but I am trying to keep with the military theme whilst adding a little me at the same time. Need to find a bigger camo net though as the one I have is too small. Sadly being made redundant pays rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
