Haha, weld-a-thon!!. . For a landrover owner this is known as a service. I will be watching this. I like the concept.

You say they may not be used? What options are you thinking???

Gonna be watching this with some considerable interest.

Given that there are so many old LR's with knackered bodies ( principally D1's, I know ), I am surprised that such projects don't "appear" more often..

Best of luck with.. So far, it looks amazing.

Looking good but I'm surprised you haven't ground back the welds before priming it.

went and picked the engine that will be in it for a while, landrover 2.5na diesel, not the quickest but needs must.

80mile round trip with it in back of an astra was a bit of an experiance.

me and the boy managed to get it in the engine bay tonight, sits further back than i expected, but i can live with that. need to sort engine mounts.

and find a gearbox.

need to find out how people deal with engine mounts putting a 2.5 (90 swb) into a swb series chassis. ?

not much progress lately, but managed a couple of hours this afternoon. lots of welding and grinding, and primer to protect it.
