AndyFowler Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Well done Andy, a few more panels,some odd bits and bobs and a spot more paint and you'll be okay for Llandudno in a few weeks;) :rofl::rofl: If only my friend ! You can tell fuel is dear at the moment as I have not even considered the ten hour round trip in the Pajero this year :nut: ! I shall rely on you for a full report and photos please ! It is a fantastic show just a little too far away ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scammell 7377 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 great work as always but how do you put the 2 folds at right angles in the two center panels ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFowler Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Had a sheet metal fabricator carry that out mate , I think he puts the sheet into a folding machine and just starts the fold and then rotates it and carries out another partial fold ! Straight forward if you have a metal folder I imagine ! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz76 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Fantastic progress Andy. Looking superb. Don't feel too bad about those shiny palm couplings as thanks to Marvin the Martian I have found some. I just bought one of those small spray guns as the land rover restoration is nearing completion. Really pleased with the result it gives and so much less hassle than the big gun for small part painting. Thanks for posting the photos mate.

It is a fantastic show just a little too far away ! I can well understand re the fuel cost, it's crippling. Don't know about relying on me for photos, I'll get there if I can but depends on work, just won't stop raining here and we're weeks behind:argh:but will do my best.

Daz Thanks mate , have you got to the bottom of Thor's brake problem that you had previously mentioned yet ? The paint guns are very handy as you can spin the paint pot around when in those tight little nooks and grannies and very reasonably priced on Ebay ! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyFowler Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Won't have to bump into these two hanging in the shed anymore , I hope ! Was gonna mount them on rubber tape but it proved to be a bit tricky with one pair of hands ! Probably get one more coat of paint now they are fitted ! Back to paying work for a bit now though !:-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julezee001 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Looking great. There's nothing more satisfying than actually bolting parts back on when they're all done. Well apart from driving down the road, but you just drive everyone else's anyway! Just a bit more to go then? I'll have to pull my finger out and get on with my project to catch up! Reality is that life's a bit busy in every respect, so she'll sit outside for a bit longer awaiting lots of TLC! Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyFowler Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Just a few update photos showing the new locker body floor and a trial fit of the old main locker door ! Cleaned up the timber behind the spare wheel carrier and have now stripped the clutch for inspection as the next job is to get her engine running again I think :nut::nut::nut:! Replaced the bent self recovery pulley with one from a derelict vehicle that took a bit of Ray Mears bush craft to get to but was worth it as the old one was well bent ! Still having fun and enjoying "nearly" every second ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
