You must now cut down the tallest tree in the forest... With... A HERRING!!!!!
Hope you loaded them up with Martinborough wine! I wonder if that number plate is still live...that's an oldie and a goodie...
Excellent, great to see another nutter with many toys. My wife is already on me about having two! Looking forward to more pics and progress.

Good news re the plates...didn't know they would do that...nice to know. Cheers.
First update -
Cons- have pulled the front wheel off the blue s2a and the wheel bearing is absolutely nackered! About 200mm of movement from top to bottom of the wheel. Avm hubs are stuffed, although there are some on the military one that I may be able to save.
Pros - there are 11" brake drums on the front and Salisbury diff in the rear.
Thanks work ring binder!
Gathering bits for the restoration - upgrading from arc to mig! Now all I need is an agroshield bottle (argon c02 mix) and I will be away.
Had a bit of look a at what needs doing on the blue landy's chassis In terms of rust. Looks like the rear cross member is rusty, so I'll be replacing that. The rest of the chassis looks fairly sound. The gearbox crossmember has taken a bit of a beating, but I might be able to get away with replacing the bottom skin rather than the whole unit. Thoughts?
Also I have been researching assisted brake setups. The ld28 comes with vacuum pump integrated into the alternator so I am all good there. That said, what is the easiest/most cost affective solution ?
Thanks in advance
Simon
P.s the "blue one" is now named "Joe" after my grandfather who recently passed. I think we'll keep the female names for the boat!
Also gave the old girl an oil and filter change and discovered a leaking oil pump. Out comes the trusty gasket paper again!
