My brother and I are, as above; converting a LR 90 to a 300tdi and rebuilding on a new galvanised chassis whilst concurrently putting a galvanised chassis onto my 300tdi 110.

We will keep words to a minimum but post lots of pictures.

Some progress made this evening on the 110. Photos to follow tomorrow. Engine is now out, EGR blocked and a 74 degree thermostat fitted.

Tomorrow I plan to get the body off, and maybe even have a rolling polybushed chassis by COP.

Engine out, roof and tub off, bulkhead removed on the 110.

Work on the 90 included mounting the accelerator pedal- bulhead required converting from LHD to R.

Tomorrow hope to get the the new chasis rolling with engine and gearbox back in, swapping the transfer box for one that came from an automatic discovery.

Big couple of days. Started with trailing arm and spring seat renewal- mine were buggered.

Worked some aluminium repair patches in preparation for refitting the tub.

Then all the rear suspension components got bolted on.

Last night the engine, gearbox and bulkhead went back on.

Today rear tub and roof.
 
absolutely brilliant, the sense of achievement will be massive when you get behind the wheel!!
 
The 110 lives!

10 days after starting the real strip down tonight it started.

We completely rewired it after fabricating our own dashboard and loom.

Tomorrow morning we plan to finish the brake lines and take her out!

Photos to follow.
