The 110 is really for trim etc.
It's snapped in half but interior is good

Davemack · Sep 1, 2015

Well got it stripped down now.
Chassis repairs first.

New cross member and repairs to a hole under gearbox mounting.

Davemack · Sep 3, 2015

Lots of cleaning painting now!

Brown · Sep 3, 2015

Somebody's got a new crossmember I see. Is that the rusty one or the one that's been on fire? Or are you intending to make one good vehicle out of the two?

This is the one that was on fire.
The 110 is just for parts trim etc.

Well its done and possibly the worst build thread ever.
Passed M.O.T
Got few problems steerings awful 6 bolt box and its stiff non centering.
And brakes are crap??
And transfer box is sloppy i had lt85 rebuilt by ashcroft so thats spot on.
Going get it on axle stands today and try sort steering brakes first.
