    I'm surprised you managed to fit that grille, the headlights being further apart than on a 80/86 or 107.

    I’ve always thought “Basil” to be a good LR name.
    its green and English, and depending on your mood and activity you can choose whether it’s basil brush or basil fawlty...

    i was going to name my Landy that, but took one look at it and named it Frank. Sometimes they just name themselves...

    It does look like a push to get it fitted.

    I like Basil.

    Overhaul kit arrived today, took the rear wheels off to some leaky hubs, as well as finding one of the rear shackles has sheared a bolt.

    Lots of fun so far, spent a bit of time cleaning to get it even to the point where not as much dust and mud is falling in my eyes.

    Think I will order wheels and tyres next. Im going to a bit of reading, but i have had BFG muds km2 on a previous rig, what does everyone else run?

    Few more shots as i go over it

    Sheared three wheels studs on one wheel just from a flex handle and socket

    Brakes being done as we speak and have ordered a new master cylinder as mine looks rotted through.

    I'm interested to hear where you are getting the master cylinder from as Series I master cylinders are a bit thin on the ground. I imported one from India, well made but I need to make an adaptor because one of the brake pipe connections was incorrect.

    'Old school' brake specialists locally are all shutting down, another one went late last year.

    To avoid breaking wheel studs (and other bolts), soak them in penetrating oil a week at least before trying to undo.

    The 48's have 16 horizontal bars , 49/ 50 have 15
    I stand corrected then. I shall count the bars on mine when I next see it.

    I have found that correct SI master cylinders are hard to find. It might be easier to get your original rebuild. Even if it is completely sized, it can still be repaired to better than new.
