Done in record time again, seen as you've finished this early may as well get changed and go for a pint with George

Chassis don't look too bad from pics, is it a keeper?

where's the pics of DAF?

Ooops, Only just seen this, You replied while I was replying.

That's true. Half shafts might wonder what the hells going on

Yeah, I don't want silly amounts of power anyway so should be fine.

Hi matey - keep the blue one with Aaron Morris Land Rover Specialists signage on the side panels.

Installing a cummins 6bt would mean hefty running costs. Fit a TDI to Red Shed and sell on mate.

In the Dodge 4x4 pickup they get really good MPGs for pushing 4 ton boxes, mid 20's close to 30 if you are easy on it

As Thor says, Shouldn't be to bad if my right foot isn't to heavy

If this ever gets on the road I'll let you have a drive and you tell me it's not worth it

at least you finish your rebuilds

Al2O3 · Jun 1, 2014

The 6BT does seem a bit OTT. Are they cheaper to get hold of that a 300 or 200TDi?

What sort of BHP were you thinking of setting it up as?

Cheap and landrovers aren't two words I would usually use together

flat said:

Good point

This ones going to be a challenge though

Probably is OTT, But I've built a standard 90 so I fancy doing something a little different, And a challenge (a big one at that)

I'd run it at standard BHP 150ish if I remember right, Then if I feel the need for more as Thor said earlier theirs plenty of bolts on if you have enough cash

Oh and nope they aren't cheaper nor are they as simple to fit. This conversion is going to cost a good few quid

But will be worth it in the end

If you've got a dream, son, then go for it

IamRobbie · Jun 2, 2014

Can't believe I missed the first 5 pages or so

Landyfox · Jun 2, 2014

TBH Aaron I quite like Red Shed

personally I would keep it standard with only upgrades being new discs brakes, new wheels and a TDI engine then sell on and buy another

Oh and keep it RED!!!

Dr_evil · Jun 2, 2014

Power is always the answer

fit a 6bt and crank it up

IamRobbie · Jun 2, 2014

Also mate i say goodlu I and get a cummins engine in her!!

Not a dream as such, Just something I fancy having a go at

Not really missed anything mate, Just the big strip down. Nowt interesting yet

I did use a bit of G10 on the bonnet and it came up very well

But the bulkhead needs a top corner so I'd have to try and blend that in.
But it may actually stay red regardless.
I'll build this and sell the blue one. Made my mind up with this build I think

Unless it all gets a bit to much.

Yep

Something like this should help

Yeah, Think I'm going for it mate. Well I say think I'm going for it.
I am going for it provided me Daf turns up

So I started striping the front axle today.

Got radius arms off.
Shocks where next. This is the best way I have found of holding the shock.
Still works if you have the spring fitted just a bit tighter for space.

Hubs removed, New discs required me thinks.

[/URL][/IMG]

Had a bit of trouble with 3 of the swivel ball bolts being f*cked. So I cut them off. Removed the ball which leaves enough of a stub to grab hold of.

[/URL][/IMG]

So again I used a small pair of stillsons and they flew out

[/URL][/IMG]

The offending article.

[/URL][/IMG]

Removed diff to leave an empty casing. Just needs a clean now.

[/URL][/IMG]

Rest of the axle bits ready for a much needed clean and paint.

[/URL][/IMG]

And a **** load other bits ready to be cleaned and painted.
Ordered some black for the axles, Just need to make a decision on a colour for the radius arms etc..

I wouldn't be so sure, I'm not exactly confident about this build

Infact it rather worries me
