What have you done to or with your LWT today??

Hiya Martin! ,

Looks good like that mate.

Day off to paint my IIA, but it was strongly suggested that the growing pile of redundant and broken Land Rover parts at the side of the garage had to go (half a chassis, rear tub floor, 2 bent and rusty bumpers, seat back, petrol tanks, cannibalised bent wing, couple of rotten doors...). A good excuse to go to the tip in the Series 3, but this time I decided to go the scrap yard and got paid £20 for my troubles when it was weighed in!

I do hope said beer money wasn’t declared at the bank of Mrs L. What goes on at the scrap yard, stays at the scrap yard after all

Hey, Andy.

That cut up bumper looks better than the one that was on your Lightweight when you got it. You could have put an offer in if you knew it was going as scrap.

Hi Neil, yes you’re not wrong it was definitely better than my original. I do still have one from Ridgy that needs straightening, but before I got around to it I met a Dutchman at Newbury whose prices were very reasonable, so a deal was done for Monty’s current steel ‘tache. I’ve probably got a fair few pints worth of scrap steel lying around when I finally get around to emptying the outhouses... it’s the ultimate wife-proof beer fund

There were two bumpers in there; one had actually rotted through which I thought was impossible given the thickness of the metal and the second I had tried to straighten with an oxy-acetylene torch!

Makes me feel better, although you know Neil would have repaired it with a lighter and a can of lynx Africa just to show us who’s boss

Suddenly lost power after driving 40 miles, luckily I was close to home and got a tow from a friendly guy in a defender. nothing good happening in the dizzy so decided to fit an electronic ignition and new leads plugs coil etc. So now working with a Lumenition optronic ignition system. it says I will get better fuel economy (I did laugh at that). Anyway never sounded better and working fine. If anyone wants my old system I'm happy to pass it on.

I bought electronic ignition from Simonbbc (strange name great product)

It really helped with starting and the beauty is it may be removed and the original put back.

Also no drilling and once fitted it is invisible so keeps the original look!

Pick these up from my storage location:

Depending how the XCLs do over the next week will decide if these get fitted whilst I save for the correct pattern set.
