    Hey DB! - What a beaut little car you got there - I can almost see it smiling with all the attention
    You say 45046 miles on the odometer - how many times around do you think? I had a Series 3 that had an odometer like that - lucky they now go up to 6 major digits.
    Have fun - I will be watching with interest. - Matti

    Sorry no updates as of yet

    So I have just spent 4hrs tidying the garage so I can actually get the series into it, making me able to work on the thing when I get home from work in the evenings.......

    P.s no need for the hinges I dont think MrsHH as I have just bought a pin kit so hopefully can give the ones I have a little TLC

    ok little bit done tonight.....(only a little though) wing off, door off, hinges off, front and rear drums off, rear axle out (Ian did this while I was at work and the rear axle has snapped as suspected although at the diff end which is annoying).
    Everything is literally bolted together. So it takes so much longer to get everything off, unlike land rovers of today they put 40 nuts and bolts on to hold on one wing not 3





    This is the corner that has been bogged



    As we pulled off the wing, we have sort of pondered not just getting it up and running now, but pulling the engine so we can paint up all the firewall and chassis rails properly. Especially as we are still unsure whether the firewall is workable or not. so this might end up a long restoration after all.

    I hope not....as I don't want this sat around for ever and a day like the bloody 90 did

    One thing I noticed on the front of the axle is a lot of reinforcing is that standard?

    Mark has my engine crane at the moment, but if you decide to pluck the donk you can borrow it.

    Looking good!

    PS - Pics of reinforcing on axle housing?

    Yeah engine crane is sitting idle at the moment, and I think the engine stand will be too since I need to hide the diesel somewhere till I get another Landy to put it in.
    If you need wheels and aren't worried about looks, I have some 15x8" sunraysias with moderately okay tyres that are redundant to me. Check in the markets section.

    an engine crane would be handy we are planning to buy one just dont have the dollas at this stage we have our own engine stand already...

    I also have 2 sets of wheel for the series already the set on it and the set taken off the one we wrecked just need to find some cheap tyres for it.

    Andrew I will try and take pics of the front axel this evening...is it standard feature or not?

    No Probs Lou.
    Axle reinforcing: Front or rear axle? If front, it doesn't sound common to me, or at least mine doesn't have any on the front axle. The rear banjo type diffs such as yours has often did have reinforcing.
