Nice series. Your resto plans are much more ambitious than mine, I'm just trying to bleed my brakes

Love the Mountain State vanity plate TOYOTA Looks like a fun trip. Congrats on the new Landy.

One of my brake bleeder screws is stripped and needs to be replaced. I looked on rovers north but didn't see anything. found this with a google search: http://www.bpnorthwest.com/land-rover/series-i-iii/braking.html?mode=list Can anyone confirm that is the right size? 3/8 x 24 and does Auto...

I like that too

I'm starting to wonder how much extra weight I'm caring around in rust and dirt, then the several layers of paint slopped on top of all that.

I found a chemical at Ace hardware yesterday that is supposed to turn rust into a base primer for paint or undercoat. Onyly thing about using something like that is I think the surface will be very rough after you apply the chemical. but I guess it is a good alterative if you don't want to blast...

I didn't see an overdrive on Garth, are you sure you have one? The only thing you push is the four wheel drive lever, the yellow one. Red is for low range.

could I blast the frame with the body still on? I don't think a few more drainage holes will be a big deal if I hit the body with the sand blaster. What is the clean up for that like? Seems like Id have a pretty big mess afterwards.

Well, progress today was slow, as usual. I had a hard time getting the drum off. The bolts that hold it to the hub were a PITA! I started to get a little radical, I tryed to weld one of my old ubolts onto it so I could get some real torque on it. No luck there. I ended up cutting part of the...

OK, I experimented with a small section, I took the frame down to bare metal, primed and sprayed a coat of gloss black. and that is what I would like the frame to look like. But I don't have the time or the patience to remove the whole body, grind the frame and paint the whole thing. I'm not...

your swivel balls have gators on them, looks like the leather kind. I have that bracket on my frame too, almost cut it off just a second ago.

nice fuse box! How does the wax go on? Spray, rub? They used it in the UK but I haven't really looked for it here.

Some things I would like to do in the future but are not nessasary to get her back on the road include (but are not limited to): increase shock travle high mount the altinator be able to go topless for the warm months, here in Florida, thats most of the time

I decided to start a new thred since I am no longer getting ready for a trip to mexico. I just want to get my landy back on the road, so here is what needs to happen. replace front brake shoes rebuild front swivel balls replace leaf springs and shocks paint the frame (I am open to suggestions...

Mark, You must have missed the part about the trip being on hold until they lift the ban on military in Mexico. On a different note, I am starting to realize my Series III will never be pretty. After just doing 3hrs of work on it in over six months, I am starting to think, if I don't just bolt...

LRMAX, Is this the dizzy you were talking about? I don't think I can use this one, it says it is for negative ground, which I'm not.

Parts are in! We got bad weather this weekend, i'd like to get the rear axle removed. I have also been wanting to take the top off but I haven't seen too many wagons topless, in fact I have never seen one. Is there a reason for that?

Well I have been patiently waiting for my parts to come in from Great Britain, but there not here yet. They may be here next week but I have a chance trip to Costa Rica that happen to fall into my lap. Now once I get back, the parts should be here, then its game on. I kind of feel like I...

Bad news. I can cant go to Mexico right now. Maybe come December this will settle down but right now the risk is too high. However, I will keep work on the Landy
