Lockdown project thread
To lighten the mood a little during our lockdowns, I thought I'd start up a thread for those who want to share what they are getting up to.

Any projects, tasks etc?  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

I'm continuing teaching myself bodywork, although progress might be slow if I can't find some new respirator filters.

36 years of living with builders magnolia emulsion on the lounge walls is about to change and they will get the brilliant white coating with paint that has been waiting for my enthusiasm to build............ will become a boredom relief project - and I HATE home decorating. I’ve just acquired an allotment plot over the fence from my back garden too but it’s still a bit early up here to be sowing seeds - years ago an elderly neighbour told me “ When there’s still snow on the Aberfoyle Alps then don’t plant anything out as we can still get a frost.........” so if the back survives interior painting I’ll be using my excessive hour digging the plot! Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

Good thread!

On my side (we are not in Lockdown but the goverment request to stay at home if we can)

Currently working from home and making a good white wine (300 lt)
A lot of things to do in the house/defender: rearrange the warehouse, replace a beam in the terrace, change a mat in the Defender, finish the electric connection for the trailer, paint the trailer and reassemble the trailer, paint the master's bathroom among a lot of other things.

Not time to be bored.

Cheers and stay home! Eduardo

In the process of restoring an old tractor. Hydraulics sorted, completely rewired and now just to repaint. Hope the weather is warm to assist the flow of paint.

Could do with a few litres of Eduardo's wine.

NAS rear step is coming off again for paint as the first attempt wasn’t great. Going to use bed liner on instead of gloss so will see how that goes.

Got an email from paddock saying they are shutting up shop for the next few weeks. It probably a blessing in disguise, at least as far as the wallet is concerned!

I love tractors. Probably goes back to my boyhood when I would take turns driving a David Brown during haymaking for a local farmer. Happy days. I’d really enjoy having a go at a renovation like discomog’s but currently time, funds and space don’t permit. Bring on retirement! Fascinated with this project. Love to see some updates if you get chance.

Made a start on my rear work light project. Although they are brand new, my OCD kicked in and I stripped the lights down so I could take additional rust resisting measures by spraying both sides of the reflectors with clear high temp gloss lacquer. Did the grilles etc whilst I was at it and gave the brackets a couple of extra coats of gloss black. I’ll replace the fasteners with stainless once online ordering kicks in again.

Inspired by HUE166 Heritage models, I created my own version of a wing decal...

No time for projects - lockdown, so far, has seen me busier than ever trying to manage the fallout! Darren

I'm working on getting this furball to play nicely. On current form it could be a lifetime's work, never mind lockdown project.
