Landy Mods & Work.

Justsomebloke · 01-07-2009, 14:38

So I've had the Landy since Thursday evening, I've found a decent Landy spares place over at Merry Lee Ind Est where I got a new drivers side winder mechanism & a rear door lock assembly, Both are fitted & fully operational.
I got myself a nice set of Alloys for 50 quid & got them swapped over & balanced, Makes the Landy look a lot later & I'm well happy with the improvements, I've also fitted a couple of tap bars on the back.
What do you reckon ?

Anybody else been up to owt ?

New discs and pads on the MINI, upgraded to R56 vented, drilled and scored discs from the standard flat vented ones and put on Mintex 1144 pads, they are hardly run in and the car stops on its nose from any speed, I'm very impressed

Couldn't resist going out on the drive for a couple of hours with the Blacking out crap, Done all my Black & there is a Crap load of black on the landy. No pics though as I am doing the Full Turd polish tomorrow on me mate Jims drive. It'll only get done the once but I do like to give them the full turd polish to get them how I want them.
I want to smoothrite the chassis so that'll need a jet wash & I'll be sorting the cab out my style. With some Heavy rain expected & all the work completed I can then spend my time getting her Muddy.

I must say I am encountering Much Love for the old Landy which is Superb

Was on Jims this morning giving the Landy the once over.

All I have to do now is Protect the Chassis & then it's Play time.

I am about ****ing green with envy, mate.

I'd love a Landy. Especially since I had to sell my Jeep this last weekend.

Cleaned it all up, made it look pretty. Then proceeded to trade it.

Traded it for this :

I need a vehicle for work. Company pays for gas. Company won't pay for gas for a V-8. Wife wants her car back and the Jeep was just sitting there doing nothing being neglected. The guy came up on craigslist and said he'd take a Cherokee in trade for the Tracker. I asked him if I could add a word in there and trade him a Grand Cherokee for it. We talked it over, we both agreed. It's now a done deal.

Looks good mate. I hadn't noticed the steering guard previously.

When's the new bumper and winch being fitted then?

Justsomebloke · 02-07-2009, 20:12

@Darrin.
Don't be down hearted about your Jeep Dude we call them a Suzuki Vitara over here & I owned one for 14 months trouble free motoring they are Superb.

@Ben M.
Winch is on the list but then so is uprated shocks & springs with 2 inch lift, Diff gaurd, External cage,Cage mesh for rear windows, Light rail, Longer arms, braided extended hoses, Smaller steering wheel, Fire extinguisher, Some padding around the door pillars, strengthened drive shafts & CVs' etc etc etc etc etc

I haven't done any work on any vehicles for ages, although I do have an RV8 block over at PPC having the cam bearings looked at and, hopefully, being honed (or bored if it's too worn. My measurements made it usable with just a hone, but I didn't give it a very complete check tbh).
