    1976 Land Rover Series III 109 build "Montoya"

    Long, but productive day! Beat the snot out of the frame with a wire brush on the 3 1/2" grinder. I looked like hell, but the frame looks great. Snot is an appropriate word. I tried some Eastwood internal frame coating and it is green. Cranked up my air compressor first and shot air into every...

    Okay, so the mom jeans probably gave it away. I'm not sophisticated enough to own anything other than vasoline. Had a giant Costco sized vat. Worked good.

    Thoughts? 2000 Land Rover Discovery II - new engine, lifted. - $7500

    You can do better, particularly if you can do some of the work yourself. Do you have the password for the pictures? I would like to see what is so special that it commands that price. I think you are paying retail for the work and a premium for the location.

    The 130

    Oh, that is a thing of beauty! Please tell me you will post your progress with lots of pictures? Love the 130, but my next one will be a D90. I got the people hauler, next is the two person extreme terrain vehicle.

    Got crackin' today! Broke out the pressure washer and some foaming oven cleaner. But first I took a putty knife to check the thickness of the greasy, dirty unholiness that 40 years of seepage causes. It was dense and dank. Half an inch thick in some places. Scraped it off and then covered all...

    Oh, she's also handy in the garage. Here she is dropping the engine in the Cobra. She's a keeper.

    Thanks, team, I appreciate the positive affirmations. Just having fun and telling the tales of life. By the way, I did share my friend's transgressions with the wife. You see, we are couple friends. Not guy to guy or gal to gal, but friends as couples. That's an important distinction. It is...

    Compomotive issues

    Is it stained or did it lift the finish? That looks like a major fail.

    Ha, front axel primed and swivels assembled. That was about all I could manage today. I need a nap. I'm sorry I was so mean to naps as a kid. They rock.

    Mike, I was cracking up, too...as long as he wasn't looking. Friends have to support friends, regardless of their blatant stupidity. Said geologist's reasons for bad acting? Wife of 30 years was no longer delivering oral rewards. Little regard for proper favors if you ask me. Hmmm... Anyway...

    Cold and rainy here today in Tejas. Well, 60 degrees, my how the blood thins when you move away from the real cold. Turned on the garage heater and stayed inside. I loosely attached the extended oil cooler lines and fuel lift pump to filter to injector pump lines. Anything to make the job...

    Camber, no such thing as too much! Actually, I live on top of a hill on a culdesac with one other house. Plus, I'm down a hill from the road, so no one can really see down my driveway easily. However, there are some Mrs. Kravitz types who love to get into other people's business and next...

    1976 Land Rover Series III 109 build "Montoya"

    Look ma, no oil! The left side had a leak and I expected it to have issues, but the right wasn't any better. I guess the Series II rule that if it isn't leaking, its dry also applies to the Series III. I do have a question. How much lash is acceptable in the front diff? I can turn the yoke...

    Thanks, Blau! Rocky Mountain springs and OME shocks. It is the weekend! So, drunkfest with the wife tonight (tequila being the chosen spirit). I like tequila. Shots are okay, but we have a margarita recipe that kills. One cup tequila (give me the dirty brown stuff), 1/2 cup triple sec, 1/2 cup...
