Rebuilding a 1974/1975 Landy And Drinking Beer

A learning curve for all of us

My new blog. The layout is great and easy to read. I hope you like it. (I've stopped posting about beer, it is now all LAND ROVER)

These are two Land Rovers in various states of refurbishment

JTA was taken around to the garage and HCU had some more paint stripped off and now has a shiny new razor bonnet that could have a tyre fitted on it.

Removed more paint It is really muddy and cold even though the sun is shining.

Dark ale. Lovely caramel bitter taste!

Waiting for collection by police

Bought a sanding plate from b&q and have fitted the wet/dry paper. I hope it works. Unfortunately it is pouring with rain, ideal for wet/dry sandpaper but crap for electricity.

Have been sanding the Landy and it's coming up nicely. Photos to follow

Before and after 240 grit takes most of the scratched out and 320 and 400 to follow

Started sanding with wet dry 400 grit. I think I need a harsher grit to start with. Wheat beer is divine.

Polish beer. Tyskie - A little like Stella Artois. The deboned turkey, goose, duck, chicken is almost done Merry Christmas!

Brew dogs. Awesome beer. A tad pricey but tasty. Ipa is really hoppy. The Pilsner is perfect.

Stopped in to Clarik en-route to work. Bought some bits to polish the aluminium. There are two foam pads of differing density. It was suggested to put the G3 paste onto the metal rather than the foam pad; when the grinder is turned on the paste does not fly off in all directions.

Slightly out of sequence but shows some of the tools and mistakes I've made.

Looking more silver than red now. Rory helped with the grinder. With two grinders the paint strips off really quickly
