It's hard to believe that this was a car that appeared to be in really good condition with little needing to be done!!

Jesus that's a list n a half!

ya must have a lot of time on ya hand's

lets not go there…...

I was helped out by the Mexican military who insisted on bullet proof doors on their new Land rovers and in doing so produced a surplus of literally brand new doors with door cards and electric windows. I've fitted Central locking and wired them up but it got rid of numerous jobs in one go. Plus a friend at work has a brother who is mad into landrovers too but isn't very good with electrics. That is my bag so he's helped me out a lot and I am doing same on his.

First I need to build a shed so that I have somewhere dry to do some of this.

Done

You'll easily finish that list before drevil gets his running. ound:

My list is a lot longer than yours, thou atm, the most important jobs, are get my new tyres fitted to the new rims sitting in the hall when the tyres turn up tomorrow,

I had that problem with the diff lock switch.... I had to remove the tunnel and floor then found rot in the passenger side footwell and other issues. Several of the items on my to do list were not there when the original list was created.

Had the 110 three weeks, in which time it's had a full set of brake calipers, alarm/immobiliser and a service.

Winch bumper and winch came off last night, new bumper will be going on later.

Clutch and Disco transfer box going in next week, hopefully with Exmoor high-backs (if they arrive in time...

Still to do:
Sort interior light wiring
Spots and fogs
Noisekiller soundproofing
Catch the rust on the doorframes before it gets worse...
Waxoyl
Swingaway rear wheel carrier
Bike rack
Stereo upgrades
Load bay racking
