Looks smart to me, paint job looks very good as well.
Cheers both. Was looking like everyone hated it to start with. Not sure why as it just looks like a d2 but without the hassle of it actually being one. Still got to ditch the stupid looking wing grill things.

Was the d2 interior just bolt straight in? fancy that for mine, about the smacked and badly repaired Dont think thats fair, it doesn't look exactly like a d2 as the bonnet hangs abit far behind the lights and grill but only noticeable to landy geeks like us lot to untrained eye looks like a newer disco lol! also wanna know how you did the td5 lights on the back!

And get rid of the thing on the side ASAP!
Looks like a TD5 still sounds like it's agricultural.

Damn that's shiney
. At first sight, I thought I was looking at a mark 2 of 2000 vintage and it's only under closer scrutiny that you see the evidence of it's mark 1 heritage. The tail light conversion is a neat fix but like some others, I'm not so sure about the grills near the indicator repeaters on the wings. Good choice of colour too.

Yes ive been pointed out a couple of other differences by some very keen hawk eyes like the wiper stalks etc, people on here really know what they are looking at. lol
The seats are pretty easy, fronts are d1 bases with d2 base cover swapped over and then change the complete seat backs over, they just bolt on. Rears are a little more tricky as the d1 ones lock in position on the sides and the d2 ones from the floor. I used some rear door strickers from a rover i think it was and welded them to the floor so the seats can lock into them, good as new!!
The rear light panels are spot welded onto the rear quarters, you drill the spot welds out and the end panel then mates up to the 300 quarter, job done
Fully agree, they are ****e!!
Damn that's shiney
Cheers and yep side grill things are shocking
As above, just remove end panels from d2 quarters and refit onto 300 ones
Cheers all for the kind comments

That is badass.
I agree, and not too dissimilar to my old one, and that's my old very unreliable td5 next to it -)

Just painted it I meant. Painted Saturday, hit the lanes Sunday an scratched it to bits. Haha. A proper Landrover isn't complete without the scratches I don't think.

Hi.
wouldn't it have been easier to buy a td5 and do an engine transplant?
just sayin...
