    Little Miss Adventure

    So the time has come.......

    I have decided that i'm going to start the series as it is been sitting around a little too long now and I want this little car up and running to potter down to the local produce store to pick up hay and feed for when I get my horse

    However there is only one glitch to this....I'm doing it.
    I have never rebuilt a car before so first time for everything I suppose.

    I only made a quick start today taking off the bullbar that had smashed in the passenger wing and making a start of taking the wings off. Unfortunately I never even got as far as getting the wings (mudguards/fenders) off as a lot of the bolts were well and truly seized on...but got a good amount undone so hopefully next time I have a bit of time they will be off

    The progress will be slow as it will be learn as you go along for me so dont expect a thread like Cal's or the rovacraft team

    But by me putting this thread up is me committing to doing it

    just a couple of pics of the old girl..







    The one good thing about this car is the engine might not look great but it starts beautifully and runs like it has never done a days work in its life....so the main part of this project will be cosmetic
    Our Land Rover does not leak oil! it just marks its territory.......

    Woohoo! Get into it!
    I'm getting stuck back into mine too.
    Crawl all over it with the penetrating spray stuff, I do that once a week just about. And when you do a screw/bolt/nut back up, make sure you put some antisieze on it or next time you'll have the same fight all over again

    So, at the first sign of trouble, does the thread title change to Little Misadventure?



    Looking forward to pics, etc.

    Only way to learn is to get stuck in and have a go. Would just do little projects at a time so it does not end up like mine sitting in the corner dissasembled and in waiting for some time to get some more stuff done.
