    Failing fast is much better than taking months to come to the same conclusion.

    Ed, what you're doing seems to be working, keep it up, I enjoy seeing your solutions using just the stuff you have around without having to find more specialist bits 🙂

    Doug wasn't on about welding it with the TIG, just cleaning the metal up with the TIG before you weld it with the spool gun. The AC will clean the oxides and the heat will boil the oils out of the castings.

    Imagine popping down to the parts counter with a damaged hose and asking for a replacement, it could take weeks to work out which one you need! 🤣
  5. CwazyWabbit
    That is nice, unusual to see something that hasn't been messed with.

    Gets it out of the way though, one less thing to worry about when shoe horning the motor in.

    Seems promising, not bad considering Sid is on portals!

    Sid is going to be a spritely chap with the higher revving engine AND the 1.003 transfer box Out of curiosity what is the theoretical top speed at the moment and what will it be after the surgery? Anyone know all the numbers to pop in the gearing calculator thingy?

    When running tubes at low pressures don't you run the risk of the tyre spinning and ripping the valve stem off?

    Just convert it into a supercharger by running it off of the flywheel ring gear
  11. CwazyWabbit
    Was it this one?
  12. CwazyWabbit
    Thanks for the comparison shots Mike, Sid looks so well proportioned you could mistake it for a different production model
  13. CwazyWabbit
    Any mods on the cards now? For Sid, not the trailer!

    Cheers sir! 😉

    ..... I think you've missed a couple of rivets out of the seat box ..... I'll get my coat

    It's £25,000 I doubt there's much to worry about https://www.classic-trader.com/uk/cars/listing/land-rover/109/109/1964/335002

    You work with Stephen don't you? Is everything OK with himself? His absence is uncharacteristic 🤔

    Might still be a good buy for the right person. I must admit I've completely lost track of what is/ isn't a good price for used vehicles these last few years as everything seems to have gone crazy.

    There are also instructions on here which will enable most electronics enthusiasts to do the job. Somewhere in this thread are the calculations needed when re-writing the eeprom to change the mileage.
  22. CwazyWabbit
    Your next project?
  23. CwazyWabbit
    It's almost like you had a life get in the way of working on Sid 😮 OK, that is even more impressive.... how many winters did you actually work on Sid outside? We know you worked on him the winter just gone.
  24. CwazyWabbit
    Worth adding that a lot of the work was done outside in whatever the northern weather gods decided to throw at you....... making it an even more impressive timeline. Definitely not slow!
  25. CwazyWabbit
    Just over 5 years to build a lightweight in your spare time, and boy do I mean build! You've made or modified virtually everything, definitely earns the badge of 'Built not Bought'. Awesome to see Sid moving Congrats!
