Need advice

not a bad little rig! I like it.

Like others have said, read through lots of threads. Google is also a really good resource, I find lots of stuff that way. Google images is great as well!!! You can find pics of "how that thingy" goes back in :D

I'm working on one of these at the moment. my thread is in the members section - http://www.aulro.com/afvb/members-ri...ies-3-swb.html

I'm by no means a mechanic (actually I'm a music teacher) but I just read my manual, read some threads, use google and a bit of fiddling around and I figure out most stuff. If not I put a panicked thread on here for some experienced person to answer.

Good luck with your project, make sure you keep posting those pics so we can steal ideas for our trucks! :D

EDIT: I find the parts manual an awesome resource as well - you can find the part number and google that! the part number for my book is RTC9841 CE - but that's a series 3 book (mostly the same but would be better to get the right one for your car) here's a link to what I have [ame]http://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-1985-Land-Rover-Series-III-Illustrated-Parts-Book-Catalog-Catalogue-/161360844364?pt=Motors_Manuals_Literature&hash=ite m2591db164c[/ame]

I am looking forward to the day I am going to need seat box lids, seats are a far off fantasy.

Thanks for the link debruiser, hope that I can get Peggy looking that good.

No worries, I'm glad I can help someone. Plenty of people help me out with stuff so only too happy to return the favour where I can.

I'm sure you will get peggy looking great.

Looks to be agood vehicle tostart from. All the best!

Whoops!
Sorry mate.

looks nice, i remember starting my project and got overwhelmed pretty quick but with the help of all the peeps in here i have slowly chipped away :D

post up pics when you can :D

They are not that hard. Ralph was a lot of fun to rebuild but then people (especially the wife) tell me I am strange to find it fun and /or therapeutic!. Just do one thing at a time and zip lock bags,ice cream containers and permanent markers are the best for not forgetting what went where. All the guys here are great for a bit of info if you get stuck. And remember, rule no.1 PHOTO'S, PHOTO'S PHOTO'S!
