Stage 1 V8

IMG_0632.JPG I'm always one for keeping original. As far as replacing the leaves that is a fair point but they were all severely pitted with rust after I separated them and wire brushed down with the angle grinder. Replacement seemed the best bet and I managed to get some NOS parabolics for £50. Ot...

Well the thing is I have never driven this Land Rover or anything else with 4 leaf springs on the road before. Driven a series 2 in the South African bush but that is it. I'm wanting a go of a standard 109 before getting this on the road so I can feel the difference of the V8 and if mine is riding o...

Make sure the shaft on the slave is properly connected to the clutch for...

Hello, I currently own ASH 770W. Happened to google the reg to see what came up.

He's was in a bit of a state when I got him, but being treated to lots of fresh parts. Hoping to be road worthy by summer.
