Rebuilding a 109 1958 Ute

[back_in]

Hi All
Early in 2007 I acquired a collection of several tonnes of Land Rover bits.
Consisting of a 109, 88, chassis and enough panels etc, to build a car or two.
I picked up 1/2 a shed full, then took took 5 weeks off to go to Philippines.

When I returned Wayne Ellard and my self spent 2 days filling up 2 Car Trailers
and our cars with the rest.
This my first attempt to post photo's so I hope it works.

The photo's are of some of the gear Wayne and I picked up in March 07.

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2008/10/784.jpg

I started to sort out a little of it before things ground to a halt because I went over seas for 3 months, in May 07
Things have not moved far since then as I have been to Cooma, Vietnam, Bali, and 2 weeks fishing on the west coast of S.A. so far this year.
In saying that I have rebuilt the Engine and Gear Box from a donor car and a Firewall.
Some of the bits I have found are, 2 complete PTO units, Governor, PTO head and pulley, 80 " firewall etc. All have been recond to new condition.
I still have more than 15 20 ltr drums still full of gear to go through.
Pictures to follow.
Cheers
Ian

[Mick-Kelly]

How good are those bulkheads, they look like new. Fantastic effort.

[Olive Drab]

A big boys lucky dip yum

[Sleepy]

Looks good Ian - are these NOS? they look new:o

[lnd130]

nice find gentlemen will be looking for parts myself shortly when i get mine home i,ll help you out with getting rid of any unwanted spares.:angel:

[olmate]

Ian - what can I say. That sure is a collection. :)

[d@rk51d3]

Some VERY nice looking bits there. ;)

[back_in]

Hi All
Sleepy they are in 100% nick
been sand blasted some 15 years ago
no holes no nicks
I believe they are 88'
not sure if there is a great deal of difference in 86 and 88" Bulk heads
the 80 " is a perfect late 48 early 49
The chap I got the gear off, over many years wrecked more than 15 series 1's
and kept the good bits
i have 20 ltr drums of nuts, screws, bolts, spring washers, U bolts etc etc, all cav plated.
100kgs of new Galv bits, half the gear I know not what.
I go through another drum, I am like kid with a room full of Christmas presents.
cheers
Ian

[Sleepy]

Wow:o - you should open a shop!

I know where you'll get some customers!;)

[ellard]

Hi there

I can assure you the gear is in great condition.

The gear was scattered - and majority of it was stored in a field bin, were it took 2 days of busting a-s to get it all out.

Since picking all this gear up - Ian has rebuilt the 109 engine & gear box and is back in the rolling chassis with bulk head fitted, going to be a nice rig when its finished.

With the little fella mastering posting pictures I assure there will me namy more pictures to follow of the rebuild.

Well all the best

Wayne

Hi All

[LR V8]

wow :)

that looks the goods !!

Pete

[Sleepy]

:o
Noice!

[lnd130]

why do the gifts from the series ones gods vist others and not me

[Hartley]

How did you get the alloy parts so clean, like the gearbox and distributor??? Was it just a solvent or one of those alkaline degreasers which make the metal fizz? or did you use some sort abrasive blasting?
I love to get parts that clean but in the past used petrol or kero and I get sick of the fumes.

[Shonky]

:o

That looks fantastic!

[back_in]

Hi Hartley
it takes as long to clean as to rebuild
Degrease, pressure wash, acid wash, rotary steel brush, steel pot scrubbers, elbow grease, sand blasting etc, etc. And a few more I have not mentioned.
Sometimes it is easy, most times it's a lot of hard work.
cheers
Ian

[Grizzly_Adams]

Beautiful.

Makes me want to do mine better.

Bastard :p

[series1buff]

How did you get the alloy parts so clean, .

I've seen it done .. glass bead blasting .

Mike

[olmate]

Ian,

How about you come and paint Shorty for me ?? ;)

That thing looks outstanding mate :D:D:D

[Dinty]

G'day All, Yes I would have to agree thats shaping up to be in my humble opinion a 1st class job from where I'm seated, and yes to get bitz to look like that takes a lot of effort, strip the vehicle right down to it's basic parts is the only way, absolutley impossible to do it any other way and bead blasting does a fab job on alloy casings etc, anyway wafflin on here keep at it mate,, 1st class, cheers Dennis:angel:

[Shonky]

You know something is good when Dinty feels compelled to not only call it first class, but to make it bold as well!

;)

[back_in]

yes Shonky
The praise I will take in good faith
only hope the rest lives up to the start
cheers
Ian

[back_in]

Hi All
Thew following photo's are the work of 5 Days
Knocking dents, filling holes, priming and bogging, etc,etc
A test of all is replacing the rivets in the Cab Top on your own
be great if I had a third hand!!
Waiting for a over 25 C day to put the top coat on.
The last Photo is what the Old People do in Bali in Sept 08.
cheers
Ian

Hi All
The panels have progressed!
Have found by trial and error
Enamel is far different to Acrylic
too much reducer causes probs, i.e. runs and more runs.
well I learning (I think)
anyhow here is a couple of the end product
from the other side of the street they look fantastic ( just kidding)
cheers
Ian

p.s.
The paint is the same colour
It's the light and the camera
and a little picture quality a/c reducing to post same.

Hi there

Looking good there Ian.........

Wayne

[MickS]

Beautiful mate :arms:

[chazza]

Looks fantastic Ian!

I like the colour,

Cheers Charlie

[Shonky]

Looks bloody fantastic!

I would love a 107 Station Wagon in that colour... (hmm - I wish.)


:D

[back_in]

Shonky
You aren't the only one who would like one
me and a 100,000 others as well.
I have to make do with what I have,
namely a 49, 58 SWB, and the headache I am working on.
cheers
Ian

[Shonky]

Hehe I know the feeling Ian. ;)

I have a bloodbox, so I guess I can't complain too much. I am very lucky to have that much, and I know many people have spent more than my lifetime wishing they had one!

[olmate]

I am very impressed Ian ;) You have done a great job there mate :D

Only problem tho - you have made me want to pull my finger out and do a better job on Shorty. Between you and Justin (last Saturday) I feel that I am not doing the little car justice.

She is going to look fantastic when you have finished her :BigThumb:

[ellard]

when you have finished her

The way he is going I would like to see it at Blinman next April.......

But we have a wedding to attend in March - and the wedding car are series ones.....

All the best

Wayne

Hi All

Bit like getting a " TOUCH DOWN" from Kyle Sandilands on Australian Idol :D

Great job Ian, makes me want to get straight up and hit the shed....wake up the neighbours

[olmate]

That is impressive Ian ;)

[Dinty]

G'day All, Very impressive:), and you like me (not a spray painter LOL) gee doesn't the weather and the paint mix play havoc with things, thats why I like Olive Drab suits me to a T, anyway mate keep at it 1st class job cheers Dennis:angel:

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2008/11/470.jpg
:D

So what sort of paint are you using - the old style air dried enamel?

Looks good.

Oh and what is the name of the colour?

Garry

[back_in]

Hi All
The Paint is Enamel with a Urethane Enamel Additive
The Paint is Protec Acrylic Enamel
colour is Leyland Slate (Storm) Grey
They told me 4 ltrs would do the car
5 ltrs later and have not done the Doors or tub etc.
Have used more wet and dry than ever
Acrylic is the easy way, this is a learning curve.
it has kept me out of the pub for weeks.
It can bring every bug and dust bit for 100 kms.
cheers
Ian

[disco2hse]

Does that mean you will have to coat it with UV resistant polish then? Will UV cause the acrylic enamel to break down?

Looks flipping fantastic :BigThumb:

Alan

[back_in]

Hi Alan
All I been told is the following
Do not polish before 30 Days
do not cut
and use a good quality polish
Why the query re U.V.
is it a problem?
Cheers
Ian

[disco2hse]

Hey there Ian,

I don't know a lot about these new fangled paints.

From what I see around the place, there are quite a few (particularly jap imports) cars that have that blistered paint effect on bonnets and roofs. From what I have heard this is because they were not polished with UV resistant polishes and the result is that the paint has broken down.

Most are reasonably old, but an increasing number are newer.

I assume that newer vehicles use these acrylic enamels.

I wonder if the comment "use a good quality polish" relates to that?

Alan

[back_in]

Hi all
been spending a lot of time standing still
been working most days
on the tub
it was in good nick from 100 yards
up close not wonderful
I set out to do the best I could with my limited skill
the sides were bent in some 200 mm
the bottoms were bent nearly flat
quiet a few bits were broken
the supports under the side panels were bent nearly to right angles
the floor had a bow from one side to the other of some 75 mm.
The rear support had been ripped off years ago.



https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2008/12/21.jpg



The seat boxes were broken, so were the internal braces.



https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2008/12/22.jpg



https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2008/12/23.jpg



https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2008/12/24.jpg



The bracing under the side panels were bent to the point they needed to be replaced.


https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2008/12/25.jpg




https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2008/12/26.jpg




https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2008/12/27.jpg




The floor was rerolled straight as possible , there were scars from one end to the other and more dents than I though could be in one place.
Much bog etc etc and several days later things were as straight as i could get it.


https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2008/12/28.jpg



Then there was the the Ally section at the rear of the tub.
when I remove the floor I found it was bent up and down, looked like a cooked Spiral Spaghetti.
I used a length of 20 by 12 mm steel behind it and glued and clamped it for several days, using all the G-clamps, locking pliers etc I own.
I now have a straight bit.



https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2008/12/29.jpg



Then it only left to straighten the tub itself.
I tried heating, srinking, dolling, swearing, and have decided if I go any further
I will be committed.

wish me luck

Top work Ian!

I can't say I am looking forward to doing mine :(

I guess a form-ply lining inside it when you have finished, should stop this damage occuring again,

Cheers Charlie

Hi there all

As "Back-in" is having trouble uploading pictures he has sent these to me to share.

As you can see its a work of art.

Alot of rivets to replace......

Ribs and cross-members - new and re-galvanised.

Well done buddy and keep up the good work

PS - when your finished.......

Wayne

[back_in]

Thanks Wayne

My photo bucket a/c will not behave itself.
With Wayne's help a couple of photo's to show the old fellow is still at it
I would have been lost without the Rotisserie, been able to rotate the tub nearly 360 was a big help.
The ribs under the Tub were .8 mm Al. no strength at all, replaced with 1 mm Galv, could put a Elephant (well a small one) in the back now.
The door skins were easy once I obtained the die for the opening.
Even got the second fold in the bottom.
The floor had been rolled many times fore and aft and weeks of tapping and filling dents, top and bottom.
Finding countersunk rivets for the floor was some more fun.
Spot welds marks are made by heating a 1/4 inch rod to red heat and burning the primer to make a neat hole before putting the top coat on.
will add more soon as I still have a stack of photo's to come.
cheers
Ian

Is that an Exmoor Trim 'kit'?

D

[back_in]

Hi All

Once again thanks to Wayne for his help in posting photo's
In 2007 when I was in U.K. I bought from Exmoor Trim a 109 Tilt and seat backs, and seats, foam and covers.
I packed them into a suitcase and brought them home thanks to the luggage allowance. Two years before I bought 2 tilts a 80 and 88 home the same way.
In those days if you traveled through U.S.A. you could have up to 64 Kgs in 2 cases per person.
If I bought them today I would have has them posted home for same money.
I made the wooden seat bases myself, just about the limit of my woodworking ability.

G'day All, No I'm not sobbing nor crying, he deserves all the credit he gets,:ehigh5::twobeers: and I went to the same school (hard knocks), you have never made anything until you have stuffed it up big time and have to do it all over again.
The forming die for the door, great idea, but I had to make 7, I think from memory to make the boiler (firebox/throatplates/smokebox end plate etc etc) in my 5" gauge live steam locomotive, and I have made forming dies for other applications (read Land Rover mainly)..
I'm currently working on another S2A 88" GS, only had it less than 3/12 and it has had some major work done on it already, a complete nut n bolt job anyway I don't want to hijack this thread, great work mate, wish I was out at Blinman to see it in person, did see one the same model etc and colour back in 02 in downtown Blinman:cool: anyway cheers Dennis:angel:
ps will look forward to seeing pix from W.E. next week:D

Hi All
Ran the 109 in
Adelaide to Blinman
towing a 650 kgs camper Trailer
1100 kms round trip
am glad I spent a little time making the seats and backs to fit the back.
averaged a little over 7.3 kms per litre.
65/70 k.p.h is one way of seeing the country side
won a couple trophies with the old girl
in all a good weekend
cheers
Ian


p.s. see photo in Wayne's Blinman posting

You already have my contacts amazingly i have never seen a 109" with a standard PTO. A PTO would look great on your 109"
some thing for you to think about
Cheers
