Landy's Home!

Some people may say so what!

Well... the "So what" is all about Landy having been away from home for quite some time to get prepared for painting, and also to get his first decent coat of paint in a long time.




I was really chuffed to be able to get him painted in what turns out to be an original Land Rover colour - that being a sand-beige. Quite a light colour, but I really like it.


Now it's a matter of getting everything built up again onto him, and then finally get him through the roadworthy test. Sounds simple doesn't it?
Not quite... especially as I have to recheck a number of items which have taken some punishment during the prepping and painting processes.
And to top it all off - the clutch master cylinder decided that it also wanted some attention. And that attention I gave it today - with the help of my 2 faithful assistants (Hanno & Chris). Having them working with me has been seriously enjoyable over the last 2 weekends. Chris keeps saying that he's not worth much when it comes to helping, but the additional hands, along with his willingness to learn, are great.
