I've been re-commissioning Land Rovers on a shoe string for a number of years.
When I look back at a couple of my build threads it's clear they have been going for a long time. Need to spend some money to get to the next stage on one, start doing some work on one of the others till I get the funds or find a low cost way round the problem.
There's also the issue of time, something I don't always have plenty of.......
1956 Series 1 with PTO welder (home made)
Walter the Dormobile
2a GS Refurb ARN 178-334
FFR Refurb
Isuzu C240 powered Series 3
Swapping parts, parting vehicles out, meeting other Land Rover owners, working on the vehicles, developing new skills, tracking down parts, finding alternatives.....all part of the fun.
Haven't done much for about 6 months now, working on other projects and currently have something which is taking priority Model Steam engine build
Next need to get the IIa GS done and then the Dormobile.
