Hopefully this works!
Glen,
That's the one Cliffy recently sold, there are some picture of it on this forum from some time ago.
Have you joined the Land Rover Classic Camper forum in the UK ? Someone there will have the details I'm sure.
Colin
Yep that's the one! I'll have check out the Classic Campers forum. Cheers Colin
This one :)
That's the one Jerryd. It needs some work but it definitely has potential. Won't be long and I'll be taking it on weekends away!
Had to remove the drivers side wing tonight to get at a brake pipe.

Is the pipe normally fixed to the battery tray legs ?

I'm going to replace any rusty brake pipes so the only way to get at this one was removing the wing, I hope the others are a bit easier to get to......
Next the outer wing panel needs to be straightened out.

Hi Colin
Yes it's standard. The brake pipe is fastened onto the leg of the battery tray.
Wings off make it heaps easier, especially when getting to the 5 way joiner on the chassis rail.

Work and family commitments have slowed down work on Walter.
Brake pipe replaced and drivers side of front axle finished.

Managed to panel beat the wing back to shape but there's a section that needs to be shrunk so need to think about how to do it. I don't have oxy so I need to find someone who can work with aluminium.
I found another wing outer panel that looked OK, started to strip it and under about 5 layers of paint there was quite a bit of bog. Must have been like this for years.....
Started work on the rear axle passenger side.
Everything came off OK except for one spring bolt. Someone had fitted poly bushes in the past but I don't think anything was greased !
Took a reciprocating air saw to it.

The bolt head end is still seized into the spring hanger.

Polybushes may be quick to fit but they are a PITA to remove if they are fitted dry.

Just have to cut the original bush out of the chassis (this wasn't changed to poly bush) and re-fit some standard bushes with some copperslip on the bolts !
Wheel bearings were OK so new seal & re pack with grease, overhauled the brake slave cylinder just need to make up a new pipe to the junction on the axle and replace the flexi.
Once the spring has been repainted & new bushes fitted it will time to assemble, then I can turn Walter around and work on the other side.
Need to look out for someone parting out a LWB station wagon. I need 'B' & 'C' pillars that have seatbelt mountings (must have had them by Series III ?). Otherwise I'll have to improvise something.........

Removing the front wing (mudguard in this country!) makes a lot of things easier. And it is quite easy if you do it more than once in a decade.
For example, I always remove one to take the head off - just makes it easier.
John
Same here John, I always remove LHS wing to access/remove the head, it also gives a better go @ the welch plugs as well, Colin, I always enjoy your images and mate your garage looks as bad as mine LOL cheers Dennis
