The Rover-Landers of BC

Also wanted to mention , I used non insulated terminal connectors throughout with double walled heat shrink applied to all. This makes for a tidy , smaller diameter harness . As Stuart mentioned there is a new harness available if you want a completely genuine look.

Well bored is something I don't really get.
I stay really busy and if I am not doing something or learning how, well I do sleep.

So having said that i am sorry for not posting more about my build here as I know following builds is fun.

My 1956 Series one 86" Land Rover affectionately named George after a mentor and the person who suggested I should get into Land Rovers and I quote -"Wilf, I think your strange enough YOU should own a land rover"

There's not much George said I didn't do.



I still have a long way to go and being what it is I expect to always have something to tinker on. but I am getting rather close to Insuring and driving around Powell River. I think today will be a drive around the block with my fiancé for valentines day (she will think it is a treat, not just me lol( there is a reason she is no longer just a girlfriend!!)

Thank you all for your support and guidance.

Wilf

Congrats! Great news that you're almost on the road ... and only 1 year since your first post 8)

Enjoy the summer month going topless (the S1, not you) Well, you too if you like :shock:

How is the engine running? I found my S1 ITBC Insurance cost not too bad if you keep it very basic.

Have fun

Weeee!

I sure am glad all those years ago George said to me "Wilfred, I think you are strange enough you should own a Land Rover"

I have Insured my 86" and have been doing lots of little drives and checking of things. Still have a spongey brakes but am making progress on them one bleed at a time- any tips appreciated, I understand they can be a pain to get air out of...
all new brake components- blue box parts but inspected before use an look good anyways-


I am at a bit of a loss for words other than boy this is fun!

I love rovers!

Ha, very cool .... I like the way you made the photos look like they were taken in the 50's 8)

Good to see you're taking her out in all weather conditions.
I had trouble bleeding my S1 brakes until I borrowed a "speed bleeder" (I believe they are not expensive, from Lordco) then it took 15mins and they have been nice and firm ever since.

cheers
