LATEST PHOTO SPAM

Posting all our photos to the blog means we can upload them to the Land Rover forum by using the URL link.  For some reason if I try to upload them directly from laptop's hard drive they load upside down.  At some stage I'm sure I'll sort this process out but for now we will just have to put up with photo spam posts. 

Today we started stripping the front end.  The bolts on the left hand side foot well were a little more difficult than the right hand side.  It was a bit awkward and not a job for 1 person alone.

As we stripped away the outer panels we got a better picture  of the various modifications carried out during the installation of the Holden 186 motor and the HTHG radiator.  Some of the repairs and modifications are a bit rough and ready but each to his own. 

As you can see, there is a just a little bit of rust on the chassis.

Modifications to fit the Holden radiator.

Part of the heating system.  The snail shell has seen better days.  We are actually missing the whole heater matrix so are currently searching for parts online.   Will have to pull this apart to see what surprises inside before we decide if it can be restored.

Right hand side of the bulkhead.

And the internal section of the right hand side bulkhead.  Note a few holes in the foot well.

Car horn or hooter - I think it's both the disc shaped parts.

Crap in the radiator hose.  Looks like yellow sand.

Battery stand.

Oh dear, it's a bit rusty.
