The panels have already been out in the open for how many years ?
Stack them somewhere outside and make sure water can't gather in them.

She's in the shed. Man, was that an effort - the approach was up hill (not steep but noticeable), over long grass (flamin' lawn mower broke down didn't it), muddy ground (thanks to a lot of rain recently), with a steepish last metre into the shed. The lad put on his soccer boots for traction... and left a series of deep divots. My daughter trotted along beside keeping a brick behind the front wheel so we didn't have the brute come down on us again. The profanity was kept just below blister the paint level and she kept drifting across into the door - as the cabin went in, it missed the door frame by about an inch and that only because she tilted the other way at the last minute.
But she's in. :ehigh5:

Ain't she cute
Time for a coffee and a brag on the forum.
I'm running out of excuses. :eek:

I enjoyed the description of how you got it safely tucked away. It reminded me of when I had to get the series 1 with no brakes from the front of the house down a steep slope - across a creek - up a steep slope , into some old stables which were really tight - I'm not sure what I expected as I hadn't driven one before but had the Mrs trotting alongside with a lump of old garden sleeper just in case it got away from me. The reality was of course I just drove it all the way in 1st low ratio and didn't need any brakes! In the excitement I forgot to tell the Mrs. She needed the exercise though.
cheers,

As a sports car buff, I'm sort of ambivalent towards brakes, they only slow you down :twisted:
The kids and I got into the cab today.
It was a bit dirty
http://www.aulro.com/afvb/attachment...1&d=1434878548
But once again, we found some interesting stuff
http://www.aulro.com/afvb/attachment...1&d=1434878548
including a mechanical fuel pump (did the Landy use one?), various water pipes, thermostat housing, crank handle, bits and pieces of light fittings, and... well... stuff.
My little princess was disappointed we didn't find any dead animals or old bullets.
Any idea what these spring clips in the back wall of the cab are for? One would image they've something to do with the seats or to hold the crank handle.

We decided (well, I decided and told the kids) to dismantle the cab from the top down. We were doing well until we got to the bolts along the back of the cab at the top of the cab wall. Rusted solid. I could undo the bolts that run along base of the cab wall, these are already half undone (and no doubt rusted solid too) and if you try to lift the roof, the roof/back assembly lifts there, but seeing I'll need to get the two apart eventually, it seems easier to do it now and have flat panels to store. Anyways, I gave up before we broke something.
It's now someone tells me the roof and cabin back don't come apart.
Why did Land Rover place the bolts with the head at the bottom and the nut at the top? Surely it would have been easier to drop the bolts through the holes and add the nut from the bottom.
And seeing I had to upload this photo for another post, here's the lad working on the rear trim in the cabin.

This may help with a penetrating solution for your frozen on nuts.
