This website describes how I rebuilt my Land Rover 110.
It's not a recommendation on how to fix yours!
In other words, I accept no responsibility if you drop a Land Rover on your foot.
About this website
I have tried so far as possible to stay away from flash content and javascript. I have even taken the trouble to run each web page through html5 validation at http://html5.validator.nu . So the site should look the same no matter which browser you're using.
However...
ALL links open in a new window. It's the way I designed it - because in my view it makes for a better browsing experience. If you don't like it, tough.
Health and Safety Information
- Use your common sense.
- If you're going to be welding, remove your watch. Welding spatter loves to attach itself to metal watch bands.
- Something that you've just finished welding is going to be hot. Gloves are your friends.
- When angle grinding, be aware of where the sparks are going. Did you know window glass can rust? Well it's not actually the glass, it's all those tiny metal fragments.
- When using a wire brush on an angle grinder, wear eye protection. Wear hearing protection. And if you're removing rust and paint, wear a proper respirator mask - those cheap disposable felt masks are not suitable equipment. I've tried them.
- On the subject of eye protection, don't remove your goggles until your eyes no longer need protecting. Here's why (and yes, that is my site as well).
- When painting, make sure the area is well-ventilated. If you're spray-painting, cover anything that you don't want to be painted. Trust me.
- Hi-Lift jacks are extremely useful. They are also highly unstable. Use a trolley jack as well. Just in case.
- If you intend working underneath your landy, put some safety glasses on!
Mine were a bit dusty and scratched, so I didn't bother. I slid underneath with the tin of Unidox primer and started painting - splat! A big dollop of the stuff landed in my eye. Now Unidox is a very good paint; the trouble is, it's not meant to be applied to the eyes. I shot out from under the Land Rover like a bullet and made a beeline for the kitchen sink, by which time my eyelashes had been glued together (did I mention Unidox was fast-drying?) There then followed an interesting 15 minutes with the ingredients: Soap, lots of water, the other half's eye make-up remover, paint thinners, more soap, some eyedrops, more make-up remover, more water...
