OK so a bit more progress. Now, theres either a lot of body lifted Discoveries that are driving around having stretched the Ali steering joint to a very dangerous point, or theres another version with more adjustment than what I have on the three I have in stock. So in the interest of safety theres only one option:

Remove column:





Remove input shaft:






Borrow a Lathe:






Create an extension piece:





And Weld it together checking its straight with each zap:






Leaving and extended steering column:





And refit!
Last time the O/S wiring was sorted, this time the N/S:






Now im up with the VW boys in hiding the engine bay wiring lol.
Then it was outside for a pose. (unfortunately thats not me. I wish i was that god damn sexy!):



 
33s i think. Ill have to try and See what i can get on there and still get full articulation.
 
So did a bit more today...
Pre-dash:






Dash in:






Tidied the wiring going front to back, fitted the kick panels and fitted the centre console:






Started running winch control wires to the Mud dash:






Fitted the high power USB charging socket:






And found somewhere for the CB to go:






have the MOT booked for tomorrow but I doubt itll make it :(
 







And a PASS :) Did a couple of cheeky lanes on the way home too. Seeing as theres one right opposite the MOT place it only seemed right lol
 
I think the tracking needs doing but other than that like any other lifted landy. Engine feels good though!
 
Had a good day on it today. First off got it up on the ramps:







And got friendly with my old mate Mr Orange:






And sorted all the breathers out. Axles, both boxes and tank. Just the engine to do....







When the snorkel is done i can route them up to it...
