I have owned Landy since September 1990 & over a 3year period carried out a full restoration , including extensive rust repairs to the chassis having it back on the road in 1990.
Back then there was no AULRO to ask for help & not many restoration books on S1 Land Rover's . I was told to contact Anthony Maeder who was in Melbourne at the time which I did & received a very helpful back from him ( I still get that letter out some times to read it) I also joined the Rover Car Club Qld.
Over the last 29 years I have realised there are things I did not do correct that needs correcting & I have not had to carry out any major repair work.
In the last 6 months I have started to have a few electrical issues , a couple of oil leaks around the gear box & I know the brakes will need going through ( I think after 26 years the cylinders will need re kitting ) there is also an oil leak into the L/H rear brake drum. The paint is starting to get a lot of chips & is starting to look like camouflage.
Every time I read Dinty's restoration I think I have to do some thing with Landy before I can't do it. ( I blame Dinty for this
) ( Don't really blame him but his restoration sure helped to make my decision )
