It's Day 2 of the Series III rebuild, and it's raining. Unperturbed, Land Rover Monthly Editor Martin Domoney and Series Whisperer Neil Watterson set about plucking the last bits off the 109's old chassis and start bolting things to the new Maer galvanised frame.
Springs are upgraded, brake pipes are made, axles roll under and there's nearly an engine crane mishap, but the boys forge on to see just how much they can get done in two days. It's good progress, but there's a whole lot more to do yet.
