[Banshee]

[jims-terrano]

Looks nice mate, be interesting to see how this goes. Good luck

[Banshee]

Going to slap my spare Lucas battery on it after work, if it gives me the impression it wants to go, I'll drain the tank and get some fresh fuel in.

I'll test all functions including 4x4 and then make a decision as to it's fate

Like a dream, didn't even know it was there apart from the indicator buzzer and increase in fuel consumption

Very nice indeed, let us know where you got the trailer from, not a bad price that, all inclusive.

I like the red light relection on the wing and bonnet, very Harry Potter lol :thumb

Got the trailer from Poulter Trailer Hire in Kenilworth, nice bunch of lads, it's actually a side venture by the looks of it that a lad is running out of the garage he owns called Crackley Garage.

I was thinking of getting it made in Vinyl Decals

It's nowhere near the standard of yours uncle

If I had the inclination, I would definitly have a go at sorting that one, especially with the knowledge that I have gained over the years about these trucks.

What would I spend on it?
Labour... for the love of it... chance to make a good return.
Parts... to the maximum I could get for it if I was to break it.

No brainer, nice little earner.

Possibly

I got changed last night into my scruffs and started to pull tools out etc, I grabbed the 3 litre battery and managed to bodge it in place by spinning it round and tipping it forward.

Jumped in and turned the key, dash lights all lit up, left it for a little bit, heard the click of the glow plug relay, turned the key again and after about 5 revolutions of the engine it sputtered into life it coughed twice and sat there idling like a dream

My phone died after I took that video otherwise I would have done one of me ragging it around the fields at work in 4 low

So yeah everything works on it apart from the electric windows!!!!! Oh and the window wipers actually make things worse

Still haven't done a visual inspection of all the problem areas yet but that's next on the list

Good start

[Banshee]

So I stole a few minutes today at break time and had a look at the Terrano again and just wanted to check a few more of the problem areas that are prone to the dreaded tin worm and the initial prognosis is that it's a damn solid truck apart from the drivers side wing and the sills.

Is there anyone with a template for some new sills and does anyone fancy an earner to knock me some up?

Here's some pics I managed to snap;


Rear boot floor


Rear belt anchor points complete and intact with sound deadening




Minimal rusting of the bumper reenforcer and solid looking front crossmember too


No holes or crusty bits here either


All of the body mounts look good, checked the 4 corner ones, not been able to check the centre ones yet as I was in shirt and tie

Chassis and body don't have any holes underneath that I can see so far.
