Some Kinda Monster - Project Land Rover Empty
PostSubject: Some Kinda Monster - Project Land Rover   Some Kinda Monster - Project Land Rover Icon_minitimeSat Oct 05, 2013 2:10 pm

I always wanted a vam Land Rover, so when Danny said he had picked one up in a lot, I was quite excited about buying it from him. However, the poor old Land Rover was on its last legs, or wheels if you will.
It was then I decided I would have a crack at another custom vehicle (the last one being thrown away by a cleaning mad mother-in-law !!, but that's another story).
Anyway when it arrived I discovered it was missing everything, and was practically snapped into.

First of all I tried to glue the body work back together, this lasted about a day before the glue snapped and I was back to square one Sad 

While watching a top gear special where they go to Bolivia, Hammond's Jeep peaked my Interest, how cool would it look as a monster Land Rover ?

First job was to build a chassis for the jeep to help hold it together, last night on chat, rossini objected to the fact I had used wood, but I must point out It is mature timber lol! 
An interesting thing I discovered was that the original wheel points are do not line up perfectly ?? Shocked , very strange.

With the chassis sorted, it was time to turn my attention to other parts of the land rover. Slack was kind enough to supply me with a full set of ATV wheels and axles, so with that sorted, I had to add parts to the axle to stop the wheels flopping backwards and forwards Very Happy . Then it was a case of screwing and bolting the land rover body to the chassis. This is how far I have got,

Still a long way to go and waiting for my plasti -card to turn up. I was hoping to get further along, but due to sparkys campaignfor better working rights for vam, I now have no helpers !! Shocked , thanks for that sparkys lol! lol! lol!  Git !!

More to follow as I progress, fella's, thanks for looking !

cheers cheers cheers cheers cheers 

ps - any donaions of lan rover parts would be appreciated guys, if anyone have any to part with cheers

A great restoration project Dal. Just what AM needs...a monster truck! Be interesting to see what style of paint job you go for.



Ps My lawyers will be in touch about Somekinda copyright infringement! lol!

Very nice so far Dal. Great use of the wood for chassis! Lol it'll be a lot stronger that the original. Can't wait for more.
