didn't get up to much today, just painted the bottom of the seat box and tidied everything up, ready to start getting the other engine mount into position.
Need to fabricate some new corners for the seat box as the have corroded. can someone advise on that?
propshafts measure up okay. I can use the front prop shaft from the disco in the front of this landy, and use the front prop shaft taken off the original gearbox will be used on the back as the original rear prop is a tad short.
got some bits for sale, the old engine, a ford transit 2.5di that fits onto a series box, and the old transfer case. just drop us a message.

Clutch fitted, used a 19mm sock wrapped in some electric tape to align, worked perfectly.
Gearbox and engine bolted together, and nicely mounted.
not bled the clutch but it seems okay, will have to see.
Radiator pipes hooked up, need to mount expansion tank and air filter.
going to bodge air pipes with some 2.25 inch stainless exhaust pipe.
power steering res mounted , still to get fuel filter on.
will hook up battery tomorrow and give it a wiz after getting some fluids in.
