renovating the grille panel

Monday, October 5th, 2009

OK, so I have screwed the grille panel onto a piece of fairly flat wood, and drawn around the three cut-outs. The plan: cut the bottom two (rotten) inches off, then butt weld a new panel onto this, with the assembly still screwed down.then, I will simply (!) form the lips around the apertures, then weld the grille brackets back on, job’s a good ‘un. Or is there a better way?

chassis takes shape again!

Monday, October 5th, 2009

So, we have a new pair of dumbirons on the front of the chassis, five new outriggers, and a ‘new’ rear crossmember. The welding was done by Jim Welch, a landie rivet-counter from the Landie Series 2 Web forum, new parts supplied by Britparts. Nex job is to paint the whole chassis, and squirt Dinax into the inside. replacement springs to be fitted, and the whole braking system will be replaced before the tub goes back on.
