Time for an update.
After the rear cross member was removed I discovered the corrosion goes all the way forward to the rear right spring hanger. This means I either have to plate the chassis which is risky and would need the spring hanger cutting off and a new one fitting or to buy a 1/4 chassis where the chassis rails go further forward on the chassis.

Heres a clearer picture of the corrosion on the back of the chassis. As you can see the corrosion is all the way to and behind the spring hanger so we could remove the hanger, plate behind and fit a new one but we may as well just fit a 1/4 chassis wth all new metal.

Before we can fit the 1/4 chassis I will have to cut the chassis right back, remove the underseal and then remove the wiring loom from the chassis rail as otherwise it will melt during welding. The rear tub will also need removing once the chassis sides have been tacked in place so the top can be weled without melting the aluminium tub floor. |

£180 for a galvanized quarter chassis.
As classic car ownership goes, Landy's have got to be amongst the cheapest to restore. |

Now the ER6 is doneand the head races on my Deauville runaround are done I've had some time to do a bit more work on the LW. I'm just taking things apart at the moment in preparation for reassembly work.
Headlights on older British vehicles were very different to what are fitted to modern vehicles.
Where modern vehicles have the headlight bulb removed from the rear older vehicles had things like sealed beam units where the whole headlight was the bulb or they used a removable headlight with a headlight bucket behind so you had to remove the headlight to get the bulb out the back.
In the case of the lightweight it has a bucket type headlight with spring loaded bolts so to replace the bulbs you push the headlight in and rotate it a few degrees and the whole headlight pops out.
On the lightweight up until they stopped making them in 1984 they use1d a BPF (British Pre Focus) bulb. As these are pretty crap virtually everyone replaces them with Halogen conversions which only requires changes the lens complete with reflector and only costs around £12 per side. Mine also needs the buckets changing due to corrosion so half an hour with a grinder and you end up with this.

The headlight fittings use 2BA threads so before I reassemble I need to clean out the threads so I'm now waiting for a new die, plug and taper taps to arrive.
I also spent some time removing a rear spring hanger off a leaf spring. Not the easiest thing to do after 35 years on a vehicle but my Dewalt 18v impact made it very easy.
You always have to be careful with these because they are under sprint pressure from either the leaf spring or from the twisted bushing.

I also removed the silencer as it has rotted internally. Again the Dewalt impact made easy work of removing the bolts.
As the exhaust pipework is no longer held in place this has shown a problem with where the front pipe enters the manifold, it's rotten so the whole exhaust will need changing.

I've had a chat with a local scrap merchant who is happy to now take all of my scrap metal which has made disposal a lot easier and made my other half a lot happier. As most of the parts on this are metal they aren't the easiest to dispose of when you don't have a car. |
