Thread: Isuzu C240 powered Series 3

No time at the weekend because I took the Series I to a rally.

Managed to borrow a gravity spray gun from work with a 2.5mm nozzle that will spray the hibuild primer filler, hopefully this weekend.......

Then I found this at a customers today.




A project for one of my boys.


Colin

Just spent haf an hour as the sun set watching the Tawny Frogmouth young doing some practice flights in the trees outside our backdoor. The parents chased off a couple of crows and then went off hunting for food.

Here's a picture from earlier in the week.




They'll be gone soon but hopefully back next year.

Must get back to Land Rovers rather than bird watching......


Colin

Land Rover will still be there after the birds are gone, we use ours out and about watching Brolga's and Red Tail Cockie's.

Found some time at the weekend to do some work on Wallit.

Installed the splash guards under the drivers side wing (mudguard).



Then stripped off the tow bracket and painted the rear crossmember.




Need to get some decent weather so that I can spray the door bottoms plus I still have one doortop to rebuild.

I plan to spend some time over the Christmas break to get this one across the line.....


Colin

It's been either too windy or too wet to spray the doors.

Tow hitch is back on but with the rain and wind today I decided to fire up the industrial sewing machine and make a saddle for a rocking horse. Didn't turn out too bad, youngest daughter is happy but wants the mane, tail & harness put on quick smart so she can ride it....





Colin

You are a very talented craftsman! Well done.


Cheers, Mick.

Managed to get the doors painted the other week.
Need to re-assemble and finish the second doortop then I can swap over with the temporary doors.
Need to strip the paint off a spare bonnet which looked OK but has several layers of paint which are cracking so back to bare metal then it can be painted.

Almost finished the rocking horse, fitted the tail and made the bridle. Just need to fit the mane and then get on with a bow rocker that's part finished.

Chasing after another Land Rover this weekend, more details if I'm successful but I'm told by SWMBO that at least one of the others must go........decisions, decisions.


Colin

Must be more to the tale of the rocking horse tail?
