Started the strip down of the disco today. Engine is in a few pieces cus someone on here (naming no names) asked for the injection pump and exhaust/turbo assy. If you are reading this... YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!
Disco is being scrapped off so im making life as easy as possible to get engine, suspension and axles off. Enjoy the carnage

Good progress so far dude, it'll all come together before you know it
No Pictures for this update im afraid.
Turbo and inlet plenum are on and plumbed in with oil, vacuum and boost feeds.
Injection pump is fitted, injector pipes are on, new spill off feed sorted etc.
Cam belt is on and engine is timed up, timing cover, all pulleys and aux belt back on.
Next to do... sort out feed from fuel tank to lift pump. Re locate or fab a mount for the fuel filter. Engine sits far too forward and feed pipes are now too short.
Mod Rad mounts and fit rad. Dont wanna spray contents of sump all over the place

thems nice looking rad mounts, who did them?More update pics. Thanks to BigSi for taking time before work to get this done for me. Much appreciated and looking awesome
i forgot you was doing a thread on here aswell.yer crossmember is now done and fitted mate, just got to decide what to do next? seatbox maybe.
Productive day today, not got a lot done on the motor per se, but re bushed all the suspension components, trailing arms, hockey sticks etc. Will make the axle changes a hell of a lot quicker. The list of things to do is getting shorter and shorter! And the jobs are getting easier and simpler. I feel a billing show debut coming up lads!!
