Another Landrover 109 ambulance, from Dresden, Germany

Just gotten around to clean up my mailbox, when I saw this mail from Sören from Dresden in Germany. He mailed me a picture of his 109 Ambulance. He is planning a trip to Africa in it, but it needs some work before he can go he told me. If anyone has some good tips on going there, leave a reply.

Welding course

Today my dad and I went to a welding course in the North of Holland (Zuidbroek) which was organised by a prikker Henk Kruims (thanx Henk!).

Now I do already have a MIG welder and I did some welding before, but I was never sure if it was good enough. Today was the day to find out. I learned a lot more than I knew. Push and pull welding, welding thin plates (like your bulkhead), welding outriggers to a chassis, welding exhausts and snorkels... great!

I can recommend it to you all. If you want to know more about the place where we went visit www.lasinstituut-tvdm.nl.

New member of the Land Rover family

We have a new member to our Land Rover family. We bought a 1984 Landrover 90 with a 200tdi engine. This one will be replacing the 110 that broke down again. Not quite sure what we will do with the 110, we'll decide after we fix the damn 2,5 n/a diesel again...

The car looks very promising, fast compared to the 110 (and the 109 ambulance, which is still awaiting new brakes). Chassis is solid, bulkhead great, engine and gearbox sound good. Steering box makes a little noise and the windscreen wipers don't work.

Can't wait to start pimping it with some checkerplate and some nice lights...
