air gun ant 1,666 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 After years of thinking I finally bought a defender lol 92/j reg rot box the project starts here!!!! The chassis needs a bit of welding, A frame ball joint needs doing, another ball joint somewhere and plenty of other stuff (can you tell I haven't a f*cking clue) my brother bought one about 3 years ago and has basically stripped the lot and rebuilt it so I've got some tuition coming my way thank god! He's ordered all the bits I need and only came to £118 for parts so he's right in that the parts are cheap but apparently it's the time and labour that's the killer. Got 2 months to get it MOT ready so fingers crossed all goes to plan! Any tips from you hard core landy fans? Ps the horn doesn't work either lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dai dogs 1,491 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Just crack on with it mate. Landys are just big maccano sets . Iv got 3 on the go at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sternyboy 4 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 It really is a landy thing! Lol You'll either love it or hate it, I love em. And as dai dogs says, they're just big mechano sets ;-) My best advise is make sure you have a grinder for some of the bolts and lots of wd40. Oh, and every size spanner you can think of Good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
