the new project handy landy

Recommended Posts

Good to see the handy Landy out and about... Don't forget, I will be just next door if you need a test driver :D

So your starting a 'Crash Test Driver School' as well Ian?  :) .

 

...Just caught up with this project Nigel. Most impressive.  Like the 'Jules Verne' style Dash Fabrication.

The new curved look to the bonnet really suits it.. It's one of those machines that always provokes a grin when you see it :D

 

I couldn't have said it better, it looks great and the proportions are spot on. I love it.

Looks like a David Brown. :thumbs:

 

Indeed it does, an old VAK1 :)

it does a very small one but its changing all the time i havent a clue what it will look like in the end, it just depends what turns up in the scrap pile :D

managed to get back on this project after finishing the kubota, after making the bonnet it dawned on me that i could not fill the radiator up cos the nose cone was in the way,and i couldnt make a hole for tha rad cap cos it came halfway across the bulge on the nose, so i welded the bonnet to the nose and made a big hinge, why i was at it i cut up an old rotosythe grass box and used the louvers from it to extend the body  the reason i have done this is cos the engine looks so small in the space and needed closing in a bit
