It's finished

[Mrs Fish]

Well, apart from his diff that is.

Here are some pics, I must find out some before shots when I get home.

[DustyC]

Bloody hell thats a bit spic and span!
I thought it was going to be a crumbly old wreck!

Looks really good, well done fish.

Im guessing that the before shots are going to be a grage full of components going on James previous posts

[Mrs Fish]

I'm hoping to find some pics of it before he started dismantling it, but I have a feeling they are all on normal film which I haven't had developed yet.

[Bodo]

Wow James, that looks very good!
You were indeed very quick with that restoration. Mine took me two years!

[steve-p]

Nice!

[Graham.J]

What a stunner, looks absolutely fantastic Fish, well done.

Hope you manage to get the diff sorted.

[DustyC]

I have done a Diff on my old landcrusier.

When I say "done" I mean removed it, stripped it down and then got it rebuilt at MrDiff and replaced it myself. It wasnt a technically difficult job but took a whole day. Didnt need any special tools but then its a differnet piece of kit.

[sagalout]

Congrats!
Looks very good indeed. Shame to use it really.
Now you've got a bit of free time, how about a help with my mini?

[DustyC]

Do you 2 happen to like red cars by any chance?

[Mrs Fish]

We only have the two

[caro]

That looks very impressive indeed. Not so sure about a contrast photo with Mavis now, she might get ideas!

[Mrs Fish]

James here:

The saga continues, the diff has definately munched itself and will be getting a rebuild next week. The starter solenoid has died as well.

God this is an expensive Landy, but its been tuned and is apparently purring properly.

[JSG]

Fantastic job, amazing finish.

Out of interest were the dash and steering wheel in that condition already or did you manage to source new ones?

My Series III dash is decidiedly shabby.

[Mrs Fish]

The dash and wheel are origional, he just managed to clean it up really well

[Bodo]

I wonder how James managed to get the entire dashboard into the dish washing machine

[seaton]

So this months LRO arived today i'm looking through, and I spot a shiny red Stage One, that looks nice I think, then i've seen that some where before, but I couldn't put my finger on it, I know ive seen that exact photo before some where.

Oh there it is.
