Hi chaps, id say i was new on here still as i joined in 2011 but havent really been on much since then.back then i had a freelander, sold that then got a disco, then sold that then got a defender 90 csw, now iv got a 04 disco as it more suits my needs than the defender, iv also just bought a 1982 series 3 csw in russet brown.
witch leads me to this post.
im going to do a full restoration on it, well should i say me and a friend whos worked on land rovers for a long time, its going on a galvanized chassis, and a full re-spray, as well as all the galvanized bits re-galvanized, engine, axles, and all other bits shot blasted powder coated or painted, basically im wanting it to be mint,
work is underway at the moment with me just stripping it down, all panels are pretty straight apart from one door that will probably be replaced,
im sure i will have plenty more questions to as you knowledgeable guys, but for now i was just wondering where some good sites were to get some parts from, i know there's plenty out there but im strugling to find a new head lining, as its the csw its a bit different from most or the ones i can find, the one i have isnt that bad but not good enough really, and the seats are all ok, or will be after they have been cleaned, only thing i do need its the plastic backing door one of them, cant find one of them either,
also all the nuts and bolts are rusty or grinded off so is there such a thing as a full set of nuts and bolts or is it a case of just buying a few of the sets iv seen and making it up for the rest, also the wiring didnt look that good so i chopped most of it when i was stripping it all down, so is there a wiring kit i can buy that has every single wire that id need, hopefully iv included some pictures of before i started and where i am now.
thanks for any answers/help in advance.
