Thread: MY WAGON new toy

Finaly moved it into the yard today.



Took the flares off





Took the steps off





Going to take these freewheeling hubs off & just put drive flanges on which i have in the shed..



Not sure whats going on with the wheelnuts.I'mguessing they are the short type.Any ideas.





The baulkhead has been cut on the sides for the V8 .I dont like the way its been done so will probably redo ..





Duel exhaust YAY sounds great to..



HHHHMMMMMMM mite need a tune up..



I've never ever owned a landy with one of these .How lucky am i



I'm on my 10th landy & yet i'm still learning..I did'nt know the rear side doors where one peice i thought they had door tops aswell.Learnin new things every day..



Havin fun with it tho..

Brakes dont work to well & it doesnt freely roll down the driveway so id say its got laggin shoes..& the steering is so damn heavy ive never felt one like it before , Lucky i putting power steering on it..Dont like the Grill so will replace it with the old one off the series 3 tray back im building as its getting a stage one front end..throwing the seats out & going to make them flip backwards to get into the batteries.Making rock sliders same as whats on the green one..

Looks real cool hope u get a lot of pleasure out of the beast
Cheers Will

What happened to "Harry"???????????????????????

OOps!! sorry had another look, there he is!!!!phew!!!!!

I would love that Landy, it looks great and I bet it sounds great. I like the Idea of a 253 Series. I reckon it would make a great Dual Cab.

Hi Robbo im sorta in Lachlan RD if ya drive down that you'll find me..

OK a bit of an update..

WEDNESDAY



THURSDAY
install the pool





Also started to make the bits for the power steering..

The plates cut to size



The plates drilled



Crush tubes cut



Found the bracket in the shed i need for the power steering pump.




I have made the plates for the wagon PLUS two extra sets of everything as im going this time..Have ordered the 4140 for the drag link..Will start on the steering column over the weekend..So i will have 2 extra power steering conversions over when i;m finished..
I think the leaks on the front drivers door is the rubbers..Which i will be replacing with defender rubbers all round..
Also going to mod the spare wheel carrier that came with it aswell so it opens the same way as the door & will be attached to the door so just opens with the door..
