Hey, fun is fun, but really looking forward to seeing the 130 make it's debute.

I'm...so...close... But, we leave for Mexico at oh dark thirty. In fact, with the time change I'm not even going to bed. Adults only, all inclusive on Maroma Beach. Read and drink until I can't read, take a nap, and start again. Ah, life is good. All four kids, one with a fiance, one with a...

Really well thought out and executed. Good luck with the sale!

Do not scoff or find humor in the crappy masking job, but bask in the glory of paint! She's a runner! Well almost, just needs an engine...soon... Some day I'll tell you the story of the first car I ever painted. Actually, the first car I ever owned. A 1964 Mercury Comet with a 260 V8 auto...

Love it! Music, drama, action what could be better?

So, today it was overcast, but 75 and no rain! I got the engine bay all prepared and primed. Tomorrow, assuming no rain and I get home from work soon enough, there will be paint! I'm also going to officially call the front suspension done. I still have to tighten up the spring bolts and align...

Thanks, Bender! It is great to see a Series as God intended it - working for mankind. Looks like another crapola day here in SATX. Took the dog out to get the paper and it's 60 and sprinkling. There's two kinds of rain in TX. Deluge gully washers. I mean like 8" in a couple of hours...

Thanks, team, I thought I was going looney. I'm at an exciting place. If the weather would hold, I can paint the engine bay and then drop in the engine and put the rest of the front end back together. There are three major steps in any build: the first beer, the middle beer, and the last beer...

Heh, heh, heh

Motherless Britparts!!!! Anyone else have issues with their crap not fitting?! I had four hub grease seals. When the proline bearings came, included in the kit were new oil seals, so I attempted to use them. They were in the dreaded blue plastic bag. Neither fit in my perfectly machined Forbyn...

Montoya's got a nice rack! I ordered it a couple months ago and it got here last Wednesday. Ronin came over today and helped me lower it in place. He's I pretty smart dude, but for some reason doesn't know what, "Don't drag it across the roof", means. I asked him as he is super competitive and...

Since I seem to have an obsession with vehicles that are expensive to fix when they break. Meaning I better know how to fix them when they do or that's why my garage is full of Land Rovers and Porsches in various states of disrepair. I'm curious how your progression (obsession?) with LRs...

That trip looks like a blast! On a side note, when I lived in HI there was a wonderful little Korean restaurant in Kailua that made the best kalbi. Any clue if it's still there?

Love your story! Thanks for posting your adventure and all the little successes that make LR ownership so rewarding. I'm following along.

Come on by for a cold one anytime. We'll trade Rover stories.

Nice write up! Come over for a Shiner anytime!

And then, boom, stopped in my tracks like a deer in the headlights. By the way, if you do see a deer in the headlights and you have the time (bastages usually jump out of a bush right in front of you and then stop like they are just daring you to hit them and smash up your car giving you about a...

For your set up and intent (shut off winch power and isolate batteries from each other), a DPST (dual pole, single throw) battery cutoff switch is the ticket. Insert one set of poles between the winch battery and ground (mystery black wire). This shuts off the winch. Insert the second set of...

Hey, look at it this way. If you get a flat and have to use the spare, the mismatched wheel will drive you crazy motivating a rapid replacement. It's all in your perspective my man.

Nah, it was a 351w bored and stroked to the magic number (427), but the Cobra was a Kirkham 289 fia car. I really miss the damn thing! The wifey stayed at the resort last night with a bunch of her friends (big girls sleep over). She was really looking forward to it. Spa treatment, drink, stay...
