more land rover rust

Paid to get the tracking set rather then messing about with string and finding a flat place

It was a bit out…

About 18mm toe out, should be 2mm toe in 🙂

While it was up on the ramp i had a wander about underneath, lots of rust, this out rigger someone gave up on.

Since i did so well on the xtdr sub frame, decided to do a small patch on the LR. cornflakes box to the rescue!

Just doing this side first, other patch can wait.

Got a spot weld or two done, and ran out of wire!

Queue much running about for new wire. the welding didn’t go so well, bit too much rust. The underside was easier because i was welding to the nice thick weld seem running along the chassis.

Tidy up with the angle grinder, then hammered off the drum, brakes are good!

Then went and changed the water for coolant. knew the cap was bad, already have one on order, didn’t think it was this bad.
