Current Bug Out Vehicle “Soviet Joseph”

Post by Citizen H »

This is my current Bug Out vehicle “Soviet Joseph”

it’s a Land Rover Series II A 2A 109 24V, It has all the refinements and practicalities that you expect of a military vehicle, I’m particularly proud of the multi camo that took vast amount of time to get just right, I also took extra care to incorporate some artic camo. I’m currently working on modifying the exhaust system for maximum ground clearance, its on going but im quite pleased with how things are looking,

Just got to thinking would it be worth asking Car SOS to have look at it for me?

Lovely molly grease and siezed bolts enjoy ;-)

Tool me 2 pigging hours to remove 2 bolts on the Mrs supermini lower shock bolts to rear beam over the summer and I couldn't just cut them as it was threaded into the rear beam all that to replace 2 springs
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

I was strategically gluing a part together that was no longer available, as I couldn't wait for it to dry I used Tools to push it together I place on the work surface in the utility room ...... the following morning I went to retrieve the said item and it had disappeared.....gently I inquired what happened to the said item, "oh I tidied up!" which equals opening the draw and sliding the whole lot in......... I cant remember how long it took to undo the glued mess or how long it took to calm down, I now have to leave large notes stating "DO NOT TOUCH!" Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhh,

Love her to bits thou, Citizen "H"
