Finnaly parted with some cash and bought a Luego DIY chassis and some suspention


wow time to get going

Let the fun begin!

It's all good!

Congratulations mate, the long wait for mine is almost over - I'm picking it up this weekend, can't wait!

Had my viento for a year now..

slow going as I only get 1 to 2 hrs in on a sunday if I am lucky , but it will be worth it in the end..

enjoy.....

Best advice I can give is when some thing starts to go wrong or seems impossible - go and have a pint and come back to it the next day - It then seems straight forward..

I will have had my Viento a year come November.
Its getting there, and has taken much longer than expected.

I have previously done two restorations on a pair of Lightweight Land Rovers. Difference is with them, everything fits and has its place (well nearly and within LR's 1/2" tolerances ) .

With the Luego, you have to make it fit (well not everything) and decide where to place it. The placing takes a lot of thought, as you dont want to jeopardize the positions of other items. Also take into account heat from exhaust etc especially where brake /fuel pipes and wiring is concerned.

Still Its been a year of fun, along with the ups and downs.

When you get a problem, take time, or leave it alone for a few days, or ask on here. There is always a solution, and often more than one way of solving it!..

Most of all Have fun, and get it right.

A well buit car, is a tribute to the skill and care of the builder. More than that, when done preoperly, it should be a safe car to drive.

Good Luck with the build... and dont give up.. We have all been there sometime!

you could do with getting some suspension aswell
