    Here is my '57 ser1. I use it as my daily runner. Frame up rebuild w/2.25 petrol. Insulated top and doors and high output heater (beyond Kodiak heater hot)






    Its not always fun and games, it has to earn its keep too:

        Jim--In that head-on photo...It looks like a cooling fan right behind the grille. Did you change to some sort of front-mount blower? All the ones I've ever seen are of the many-blade plastic variety...

          cooling fan

          with the military oil cooler and big radiator I take off the mechanical fan all winter , that is an electric fan than only goes off if the car is working hard off road and we are not moving, really helps the heat, and I can turn it off when fording deep water.

              Hey LH Drive. Nice tailgate, I'm thinking of fabricating something similar. Any chance of some more detailed pictures? Thanks - Jeremy

                    Hey Luke!
                    Glad you made it to the forum.
                    Haven't seen the old girl around much. Hope she's not giving you too much headache.

                    Was that a suburban I saw you in the other day? To shame!

                    Cheers,
                    Tim

                      Hi Tim - yep, I'm afraid that was me. Ford Expedition... At least you realized it was me waving at you anyway...

                      The jobs are piling up a bit. I still haven't gotten around to doing the chassis welding but hey, it's holding together. The engine also needs an overhaul (don't they always). However, in the Expedition's defence, it does allow me to enjoy Land Rover ownership more than before as I've always got an alternative set of wheels and no more frantic weekends trying to finish huge jobs by Monday morning...

                      Cheers
                      Luke

                        Yup, I hear you. On my way home last night I experienced a series of issues right on top of each other. Ended up turning around and heading home in 2nd overdrive because that was pretty much all I had left.

                        Had to pick up the <sigh> sedan.

Guess I will start.
