    Now listen up 'Crackers' lol you have to stop having too much alcohol, this is what you saw

    now that does not resemble a boat in any way, I know they float etc but a boat lol, mate give the grog away lol, what you see is a No5 and a S2A GS called 'Chloe' my S2A gunbuggy & the Series 1 tucked away under the roof behind the gunbuggy.
    I did have a 14' Allycraft' tinnie years ago, but it died of thirst when I started restoring 'Chloe', I still have a 16' Canadian canoe in the shed & a Minkota 12V electric outboard, cheers Dennis

    Another good day in the backyard lol, I was able to access some wiring from a mates 'Wolseley' car that he is going to scrap after he has removed the engine/gearbox etc, so the wiring loom was surplus, so I set about removing what I could reach from the existing harness, I wanted these small connectors and the rubber insulation blocks (which are hard to get)

    I went on to use the Green/white wire and Green/red for the turn signals, they were fed through the rubber body of the light along with an earth wire

    and in no time they were soldered and connected to the existing wiring harness

    A flick of a switch and the park/clearance lights came on

    and a close up of the 'Pork Pie' lights

    anyway that's been my day, cheers Dennis

    Hi Dinty,

    Sensational work - AS ALWAYS.

    As for the small connectors and rubber insulation blocks - I purchased mine through Autosparks - Home of the world leading supplier of classic car wiring looms

    Reasonably cheap (they have single and double connectors) - you just have to wait a while for them to arrive...!

    (I bought my wiring loom for my Series 2 from them - it wasn't 100% perfect - but it twas close enough)

    Cheers,
    GG.

    PS - Keep up the great work, I can't wait to see it on the road again!

    G'day Dennis,

    Can you please let me know what media you use for "grit blasting"?

    Kind Regards

    As usual the whole car is better than when it left the factory.

    It must be somewhat empowering to know that in 60+ years of existence this is the
    best this car has ever looked or been inside and out.

    Well done Dennis!

    I will second that, what a remarkable effort.

    I was thinking about the rear indicators from a few posts back, I'll bet you measured these about 10 times, just to be sure. It would have been difficult cutting through such a great work of art.

    I am waiting with baited breath, until you overhaul the rear PTO

    The rear PTO has been in my mind for some weeks now, but I don't want to start stripping it down while I have other jobs on the go, and in the next 7<>10 days I have to get all the Land Rovers out as they are due for registration, and I'm having them pink slipped as it's cheaper than buying fuel for 8 Series Land Rovers + diesel (for the tow truck 110 County) and having to provide food/drinks for 8 mates and have them sorta tied up for the best part of a day, as the round trip to n fro the rego site is around 110 miles part freeway/back roads etc, anyway thanks for all the compliments and yes I did measure/check/measure/check a few times before cutting into the bodywork, cheers Dennis
    ps I forgot to mention that in doing the rear blinkers, I made a template from cardboard so that I had both lights in the same position L<>R, the template fitted like a glove,,.
