Cool, thanks. I am still amazed how well that car pulls. I love it.

Yes, very true. The car did really well on the way back. It is designed to pull horse boxes!

Thank Marco, hope you are well.

Williams Osteopathy, thanks for the message. Inspiration is often very important as it can be a slog at times. I felt like this about half way through especially when the gearbox was not going well. Keep going and enjoy the journey. Regards Joël

My911 Hey Joel, I know what you mean regarding the gear/trans box. I finished mine a few months ago, glad it’s now done. I am on to the engine build now, The galvanised chassis bulkhead etc is all in position. Brake and lines , axles all rebuilt and fitted. Regarding the bodywork I’ve taken off all my galvanised hardware ready for panel fitting and paint in the spring but like yours it might be quite nice to leave some of the battle scars that it has incurred over the years ☺️. Cheers Stu

Stu, that sounds cool and well advanced. Are you posting anything?

My911 unfortunately not Joel, not too au fait with videoing, most of the time it would be spent videoing the floor haha. Plenty of pics of the process to help get me out of trouble later on in the build when I end up with 30 things left over I don’t know where they go ☺️😂. How readily available are series parts in Germany?

I just use UK suppliers. A friend of mine here has a 2a and has managed to pay astronomical sums for his parts. So I introduced him to some of my suppliers...

Hi, thanks Dean. That is good advice.

Thanks ramarover, what did you do about it?They have already sent me a new set but same thing.

@@My911 I just notched it up to experience and the Land Rover listed to one side for the rest of the time I owned it. I had fitted them in correct sequence, right torque settings.but it was frustrating after putting the energy into changing them, as it leaned that much it looked a bit daft.

@@My911 Maybe mix and match the two pairs to get the most even pair? What a painful job though!

Hi Chris, Yes, definitely getting colder out. The springs are not sided according to Paddocks and the maker. They are the same calibre both sides, which is the problem. The drivers side needs to be stiffer to account for the additional weight of the transfer case, fuel tank and driver. Other brands offer sided springs for this reason, but sadly not paddocks.

Hi Paul, yes, I have tried that (next video) and still the same. The springs are just not very good sadly.

@@My911 that's a bummer.. leaf springs are always a gamble.. you never really know what your gonna get till it's on..

@@My911 I was going to say it might be a spring shackle seized/pinched in place while the spring was partially compressed. If you have since removed the springs and replaced on the other side, then that's highly unlikely. My car has front parabolics and they sit even. The rear springs are original and very, very tired. The mudflaps virtually touch the ground with any sort of load in the back. When I get around to fixing/replacing the chassis I will fit rear parabolics then.

Hi Fin, I started filming the entire restoration from 2015 onwards and began uploading videos in February last year. I am now up to summer last year and still going strong. And the project is still not finished now. So many more videos to come.

Hello mate.
