Frustration

No doubt we will encounter more frustrating circumstances but the company I ordered overland parts from have failed to deliver the parts. The Landy is now sitting idle in at Church Road Garage because the parts did not arrive. I have been able to source the split charger from another supplier but the wheel carrier is proving hard to come by. Will have to wait for new stock to arrive.

Rust to boxes

We spent yesterday rust treating the chassis at Pit Start and Campbell finished off the rest of the chassis with Hammerite today. It's almost as good as new!

I was tasked with wrapping, folding, sticking, stuffing and packing most of our belongings into boxes as well as making a detailed inventory of items. The countdown to the ship date has begun and we have to learn to live with less. It's time to be brutal!!

More work on the Landy

It was off to Pitstart garage again today. We did some more rust treatment on the chassis. We are at the point now where all the problem rust is gone. The rust treatment work we are doing now is just to clean things up and extend the life of the vehicle. It is still slow going but we are getting there.

We got the Landy back from Church Road Motors on Thursday. The vehicle is much improved for having a major service. The new shocks are great.

On Monday we take it back to get the electrics worked on as well as a safe and wheel carrier installed. After that we will be close to having our Landy overland ready.

Back and Booked

The Landy is back from its major service. Big items were new shocks, some more welding and the usual filters, brakes, fluids....

The new shocks were definitely needed. The ride is a lot smoother and road handling is much improved.

We have now sent off our forms to book the shipping and process the carnet.
