daisy 2.0 build
Disco_Stu:
Hi Boss,
Glad too see you're still at it and glad to see I still have a place in you're signature :cool:
Congrats on the new addition - I've got two myself now and completely sympathize on the time/money/grief from the missus situation.
My own landrover story has almost ground to halt, I still have a disco but its neglected to the point of scrap - its still MOT'd but I only made 20 miles on saturday morning before overheating and having to come home, trial abandoned and season [!Expletive Deleted!] :embarrassed:
I either need to re-commit or pack it in...
Hope you get your Daisy finished, my Daisy is five and she has already decided she is getting married to one of the boys in her class - you have all this to come pal!
ATB, Stu.

hi stu hows tricks? youll always be in my sig mate lol.
still slogging away at it slowly, but my situation has got a little worse as ive split up with my girlfriend and have nowhere to live. my dad will put me up untill i can save a deposit to rent a flat but i have a 70 mile round trip to do each day after doing my 7:00am-4:00pm stint in london. so its looking like 4am starts and 6:30-7:30pm finishes when you take traffic into account, i dont even want to think about what im going to have to do when the olympics are on.....we have hoists on the olympic park, heathrow, centre of chelsey the list goes on and its going to be a . ill be 4 miles from the truck but ill have about 4 mins spare everey week to work on it.
im waiting for some bungs to be machined so i can use the origional landrover radius arm mounts, doing this was soposed to save time but im not sure. at the end of the month(somehow) im collecting some 44" michelins, same pattern as i have but but bigger and with 90% tread on them.
i opted to run the mog drum breaks for a while as im sick of relying on people to keep promaces they seem to have no intention of keeping, ill run the drums while i work out my own disk conversion.
as soon as i get these bungs ill be welding them into the tube and bolting the front axle on(that simple and that fast yes) then itll be wheeled out side and the body will be lifted off. it will be a sad moment becasue as you know i wanted to keep it a disco but you clearly cant have it all. but i have a trick up my sleave that should help keep the disco looks.....
would say watch this space but i wouldnt bother because not much will happen for atleast 3 months :(
Disco_Stu:
Sorry to hear that Doug, sounds like you've gt it rough at the moment.
Dont lose heart though, life has a habit of sending us ups and downs to deal with. Daisy will still be sitting patiently when you get time to get back to it - after all, for many of us building and fixing them is often better than driving and breaking them :shocked:
Hope things start looking up for you soon, I'll watch this space regardless.
All the best, Stu.
